New simulations show carbon enabled Earth’s inner core to solidify under realistic cooling, solving the nucleation paradox.
A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new ...
Early Earth lacked life’s essentials until a collision with Theia added them. This chance event made life possible. After the ...
Researchers used atomic-scale computer simulations to discover the importance of carbon in forming a solid planetary core.
The Earth’s inner core, predominantly composed of iron with a minor admixture of nickel and light elements, is a critical component in understanding our planet’s magnetic field and thermal evolution.
Late-stage planetary collisions reshaped Earth and its neighboring planets, delivering water, altering their atmospheres, and ...
