Scientists’ stunning find in Hawaiian volcanic rocks offers a tantalizing glimpse into the planet’s inner workings and its ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious metals into the mantle, eventually reaching ...

You might think the Earth's largest gold reserves are locked up at Fort Knox. But Earth's core is rich with the precious metal - and it's slowly making its way up towards us.

While it's unlikely the deep-buried treasure chest will ever be cracked open, scientists call the discovery significant.

A new study in Nature reveals that Earth’s core may not be sealed shut after all. German geochemists have discovered traces of core-derived precious metals like ruthenium in volcanic rocks from Hawaii ...

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

Over 99.999% of Earth’s stores of gold and other precious metals lie buried under 3,000 km of solid rock, locked away within ...

“When the first results came in, we realized that we had literally struck gold,” Nils Messling, a geochemist at Göttingen ...

Traces of ruthenium in Hawaiian lava reveal long-suspected core–mantle leakage.

A recent study has revealed that Earth’s core contains a reservoir of gold and other rare metals that is slowly leaking ...

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