Planetary scientists led by Paolo Sossi have determined that Earth assembled almost entirely from material originating in the ...

For years, planetary scientists have argued that some of the material that built Earth must have drifted in from beyond ...

What is the chemical composition of the Earth’s interior? Because it is impossible to drill more than about ten kilometres deep into the Earth, volcanic rocks formed by melting Earth’s deep interior ...

Planetary scientists have long debated where the material that formed Earth comes from. Despite its location in the inner ...

A new analysis of meteorite isotopes challenges long-held ideas about Earth’s origins, suggesting our planet may have formed ...

Scientists believe that Earth's core is a massive ball of iron. However, a new discovery suggests that the Earth's core is surrounded by an unexpected ancient structure. A high-resolution map of the ...

Earth’s surface environment hosts large reservoirs of hydrogen (H, mainly in the form of water, H2O), nitrogen (in atmospheric N2) and carbon (mainly in carbonate rocks). H, N and C are sometimes ...

Planetary scientists at ETH Zurich have shown that the material that makes up the Earth originates exclusively from the inner ...

Geochemists have investigated the volcanic rocks that build up the Portuguese island group of the Azores in order to gather new information about the compositional evolution of the Earth's interior.

Scientists have discovered that the evolution of land plants caused a sudden shift in the composition of Earth's continents. Scientists at the University of Southampton have discovered that the ...
