It’s not hard to see why there are so many conspiracy theories about what lies beneath our feet. The surface of the Earth – the crust – on which we live makes up a mere one per cent of the planet’s ...

This composition resembles models proposed for the inner core. The anisotropy displayed by hcp–Fe–2Si–0.4C at core conditions aligns well with the anisotropy reported by seismic studies for the outer ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...
