While ¹⁰⁰Ru does exist in Earth’s mantle, it’s slightly more abundant inside of the core—alongside 99.999 percent of the planet’s gold and other precious metals.

Earth’s core formed over 4 billion years ago and contains more than 99.999% of the planet’s gold supply. But as Nature reported, previous studies indicated that some volcanic rocks consisted ...
