New simulations reveal that an ancient ocean of magma located above the Earth's core continues to shape the planet's ...

Gold and other precious metals are slowly leaking from Earth’s core into upper layers. A new study suggests that they are reaching the surface during volcanic island formation like Hawaii.

New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides seeping down through solid rock and into the center of the Red Planet.

A groundbreaking study suggests that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious metals into the layers above.

By Jacopo Prisco, CNN (CNN) — Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously ...

Until now, most studies of early Mars had relied on magnetic field models that gave the red planet an Earth-like inner core that's solid and surrounded by molten iron. The researchers were inspired to ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years ...

LOS ANGELES — University of Southern California scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this ...

The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
