A giant impact crater on the moon may contain primordial pieces of the lunar mantle and remnants of an ancient magma ocean, researchers say. Crewmembers on upcoming Artemis missions could potentially ...

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

Samples from Hawaii seem to contain material that passed across the boundary between the planet’s core and its mantle, nearly ...

Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe ...

When the first results came in, we realised that we had literally struck gold!” declared Dr. Nils Messling, a geochemist at ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found.

Geologists turned to tiny bubbles to investigate the dynamics driving magma flow beneath Hawaii’s volcanoes as the country’s islands drift northwest on a tectonic plate. They found that, as the ...

Furthermore, this work reveals that the formation of a basal magma ocean was inevitable on Earth, even under the most unfavorable conditions. Additionally, the geochemical imprint of this ...

Scientists studied volcanic rocks from deep below the lithosphere. These rocks surfaced through magma plumes beneath ocean ...
