Iron is the most important element in our planet's core, that much is known. What is still a mystery is how it behaves under the extreme pressure and temperature levels inside Earth. Thanks to a new series of experiments, scientists now have a much deeper understanding of what is happening down there.
One of t... |

The largest and heaviest planet in our solar system is apparently well on its way to destroying its own core, a complex set of analyses has revealed recently. The most interesting implication of the new work is that the largest gas giant extrasolar planets may not have a core at all. Analyzing what goes on on Jupiter... |

For many years, science books have been presenting the areas underneath the surface of the Earth, the upper and lower mantles, and the core, as regions that are relatively homogeneous. However, experts know that this is as far from the truth as it gets. These planetary layers are actually riddled with all sorts of st... |

Our planet is known to have a core, but not many people know that this central, molten region is also divided in two parts – the inner and outer cores. In a new scientific study, it was demonstrated that the outer core was indeed influenced by decade-long stirring motions, which kept it churning. This was hypot... |

According to scientists, mantle plumes are stretches of enormously hot rocks that can be found in the Earth's mantle. They come from tremendous depths, and some hypothesize that a few of the mantles originate from parts very close to the planet's core. The hot rocks are responsible for a lot of features on ... |

Moore's Law was first used to predict the number of transistors that can fit on an integrated circuit, and argued that their number would grow exponentially over time. Indeed, current trends show that twice as many transistors can be placed on the same circuit in an interval of approximately 18 months. Now, newl... |

A new geological theory gives rise to the belief that our planet has two inner cores instead of one, as scientists believed until now. That's not to say that the new theory proved correct. In fact, it's very difficult to say what exactly lies at the center of the Earth, as studying the region is nearly impo... |

Not long ago, when humans visited the Moon, there were still many theories related to the way it formed, but soon they were ruled out, one by one.

The fatidic date of December 21, 2012 was linked by many to the drastic decrease in strength of our planet's magnetic field and to the complete reversal of its poles.

Since the distance between space's bodies is so enormous, astronomers have very hard times counting and measuring all the newly-emerging stars.
