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 ...

Researchers used atomic-scale computer simulations to discover the importance of carbon in forming a solid planetary core.

New research reveals that carbon made it possible for Earth’s molten core to freeze into a solid heart, stabilizing the magnetic field that protects our planet. Without it, Earth’s deep interior — and ...

It seems the Earth's core may contain more carbon than previously assumed, which changes how we understand its evolution.
