The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

Scientists have uncovered surprising evidence that helium, a gas long thought to be chemically inert, may actually bond with ...

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

Consequently, even though it is one of the closest stars to Earth, such that its light takes only six years to get here, it ...

Giant regions of the mantle where seismic waves slow down may have formed from subducted ocean crust, a new study finds.

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an ...

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The findings could have implications for a long-standing debate about how ...

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a Sun-like star, ...
