Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...

Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

A recent groundbreaking scientific expedition has pierced deeper into the Earth’s mantle than ever before, offering unprecedented insights into the planet’s geology. The findings, detailed in a study ...

A new study suggests rare earth elements form in magma above ancient subduction zones, as that magma reacts with substances ...

Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...

To understand the mantle—the largest layer of Earth’s rocky body—scientists drill deep cores out of the Earth. Scientists drilled the deepest core yet and recovered serpentinized peridotite that forms ...

A sideways flow of hot mantle rock, not a deep plume rising from near Earth’s core, may be feeding one of the planet’s most ...

Geoscientists have long relied on different forms of lead to understand Earth's geological history and how it was created ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...
