Antarctic research reveals how rare earth elements move underground through freeze-thaw cycles in desert environments.

Scientists discovered the true age of Earth's core, and it's older than they thought. Over the years, approximations for our planet's inner core have been all over the board, but most recently ...

According to the paper, when Earth’s core formed 4.5 billion years ago, the Ru came from a different source than the trace amounts of the element that naturally occur in the mantle.

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 ...

Essentially, if the rocks had more 100 Ru than it “ought” to, as part of the Earth’s crust, that’s a pretty good sign that it originally came from the core, some 3,000 kilometers (1,864 ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

UNDATED (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - A groundbreaking study by the University of Göttingen in Germany, published in the journal Nature, suggests that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious ...

“It’s one of the rarest elements on Earth. But Earth is basically made of meteorites that crashed together, and meteorites (contain) ruthenium, which went into the core when the core formed. So the ...
