The intensely hot interior of planets isn’t somewhere you’d expect to find snow, but scientists do suspect that “iron snow” falls on the Earth’s core. Now, a new study has modeled the dynamics in the ...

A new study disputes the prevailing hypothesis on why Mercury has a big core relative to its mantle (the layer between a planet’s core and crust). For decades, scientists argued that hit-and-run ...

Schematic diagrams of the nanostructure and magnetic domain structure of a conventional amorphous soft magnetic ribbon (left) and the newly developed ribbon (right). The new material exhibits a ...

Dead Planets Society is a podcast that takes outlandish ideas about how to tinker with the cosmos – from snapping the moon in half to causing a gravitational wave apocalypse – and subjects them to the ...

New processing tunes nanostructure and magnetic domains in iron-based amorphous ribbons, cutting core loss by over 50% for high-frequency power electronics. (Nanowerk News) In power electronics - the ...

Earth’s inner core is surprisingly soft, and wiggling iron atoms may help explain why. The innermost part of our planet is a solid iron ball smaller than the moon and almost as hot as the surface of ...

If the explorers from Journey to the Center of the Earth were to journey to the center of Mars instead, they definitely wouldn’t come across the subterranean oceans or live dinosaurs they encountered ...
