An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The ...

Traces of ruthenium in Hawaiian lava reveal long-suspected core–mantle leakage.

Our planet's core is rich in gold that can leak out into the mantle, and in some cases, end up in volcanos on the surface, ...

When the first results came in, we realised that we had literally struck gold! Our data confirmed that material from the core, including gold and other precious metals, is leaking into the Earth’s ...

These findings could confirm a long-held suspicion among geologists that Earth's molten core is not isolated but likely bleeds into the rocky mantle, the layer between the planet's thin crust and ...

An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually facing Earth and the other ...

Two new studies used gravity data to pull back the curtain on the deep interiors of the Moon and one of the solar system’s largest asteroids.

A groundbreaking study reveals that East Africa is splitting faster than previously believed due to a fiery upwelling of ...

Hydrous minerals in subducted crust can transport large amounts of water into Earth's deep mantle. Our laboratory experiments revealed the surprising pressure-induced chemistry that, when water meets ...

We hypothesize that some of Earth's primitive mantle is buried within a slab graveyard at the core-mantle boundary ... Upon subduction, dense oceanic crust sinks to the base of the mantle and ...

Natural hydrogen trapped in the Earth’s crust could power humanity for millennia, and without emissions. A new strategy maps out how to find it ... such as from the Earth’s mantle, have fueled much ...
