This approach relies on assumptions about how atoms are arranged in Earth’s core and how silicon, oxygen and hydrogen disperse there, Huang said. Their experiments revealed how hydrogen interacted ...

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it's ...

A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests could have quickly formed in the presence of compounds called borates. When ...
