Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

The most distant and earliest known galaxy is called JADES-GS-z14-0 and its light comes from when the universe was less than ...

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

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. Primordial helium from the ...

You might have read last year about a potentially significant deposit of helium found underground near Babbitt in northern Minnesota. That part of the state has long been known as a source for ...

Studying young gas giant exoplanets' compositions and orbits could help us better understand how our own solar system's gas ...

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

and helium and iron typically don't mix. Now, in a new study, researchers at the lab of Kei Hirose, a planetary scientist at the University of Tokyo, and their colleagues have found that at the ...
