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

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

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

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 ...

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

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron ...

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 ...

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

Scientists no longer need to rely on theoretical models to study the solar core. Neutrinos, emitting from nuclear fusions, ...

Iron can form compounds with helium at pressures as low as 5GPa – about 50,000 atmospheres – researchers in Japan report.

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...
