At the extreme pressures found at the bottom of the Earth's outer core, iron assumes a stronger form to cope with the stress in a process called 'twinning', researchers from SLAC have determined.

The liquid outer core of Earth might be the largest reservoir of carbon on the planet. The percentage sounds small, somewhere between 0.3% and 3%, but once you take into account the size of the ...

Scientists say Earth's outer core contains a kind of "jet stream" - a fast-flowing river of liquid iron that is surging westwards under Alaska and Siberia.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have identified a ring-like structure within the Earth’s outer core, approximately 2,890 kilometers beneath our feet. This revelation, detailed in a ...
