New simulations show carbon enabled Earth’s inner core to solidify under realistic cooling, solving the nucleation paradox.
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.
A high-precision time measurement system based on the radioactive decay of manganese-53 was used to determine the precise age. This isotope was present in the early Solar System and decayed to ...
Late-stage planetary collisions reshaped Earth and its neighboring planets, delivering water, altering their atmospheres, and ...
