Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe ...

Deep beneath Hawaii’s volcanic islands, a chemical mystery is rising to the surface. Within flows of molten rock, scientists ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth's core isn't as isolated as once thought. Researchers discovered that valuable ...

A new study found rare metals, including gold, leaking from Earth’s core to the surface through volcanic activity.

Our data confirmed that material from the core, including gold and other precious metals, is leaking into the Earth’s mantle above.” It’s the strongest evidence yet that the Earth’s core is leaking ...
