Picture all of Earth’s oceans, which cover about 70% of the planet and are mostly made of hydrogen. Now multiply that by nine. That may be the amount of hydrogen in Earth’s core, possibly making it ...

There are many lesser-known facts about the planet Earth, but one thing we know for sure is that it's a geoid - a roughly ellipsoidal shape. However, flat-earthers have been trying (and failing) to ...

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it's ...

Earth’s core may contain up to 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen, a new study finds—an estimate that suggests that the planet formed from a gas-and-dust disk that was rich in the universe’s lightest ...

April brings us Citizen Science Month and Earth Day—that means it’s the perfect time to get outside, explore nature, and even help real scientists with their research! You don’t need to be an expert, ...

CARBONDALE — This year’s observance of Earth Science Week at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will focus on meeting energy needs in a sustainable way on campus, in the region and beyond, along ...

Scientists used a new technique to estimate the abundance of hydrogen in Earth’s core. - Tumeggy/Science Photo Library RF/Getty Images Picture all of Earth’s oceans, which cover about 70% of the ...

This approach relies on assumptions about how atoms are arranged in Earth’s core and how silicon, oxygen and hydrogen disperse there, Huang said. Their experiments revealed how hydrogen interacted ...
