Gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth’s core into the layers above, eventually making their way up to the surface during the formation of volcanic islands like Hawaii, a new study ...

Trace amounts of precious metals found in volcanic rock appear to come from the Earth's inner core. Contrary to conspiracy theories, the Earth’s core isn’t hollow. The dense, hot ball instead contains ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

A first-of-its-kind analysis of Hawaiian volcanic rocks has revealed that the Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals into the surface above. Over 99.99 per cent of the Earth’s deposits ...

Earth's core is rich with gold, and it's leaking out through the mantle and into the crust, new research has found. A new study of isotopes found in the volcanic rock that oozed out from deep under ...
