Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth’s metallic heart is not as sealed off as geologists once assumed ...

One of the oldest unsolved riddles in planetary science concerns the origin of the moon. Over a century ago, George Darwin proposed that tidal and centrifugal forces on a rapidly rotating proto-Earth ...

The deep-water cycle in the mantle enhances chemical reactions between mantle minerals and the metallic core, contributing to seismic anomalies observed at the core ...

Washington, DC-- Plumes of hot rock surging upward from the Earth's mantle at volcanic hotspots contain evidence that the Earth's formative years may have been even more chaotic than previously ...

New research lends credence to an unorthodox retelling of the story of early Earth first proposed by a geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. In a study appearing March ...

NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the ...

Two geoscientists, one with Princeton University, the other with Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, have developed a theory to explain how helium-3 leaks from the Earth's core into the mantle. In ...

Plumes of hot rock surging upward from the Earth's mantle at volcanic hotspots contain evidence that the Earth's formative years may have been even more chaotic than previously thought, according to ...
