Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

Front Matter -- Thermal Structure of Deep Earth. Melting of Fe Alloys and the Thermal Structure of the Core / Rebecca A Fischer -- Temperature of the Lower Mantle and Core Based on Ab Initio Mineral ...

An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior of earthquake waves, in Earth's inner core.

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may exist in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow like liquid ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...
