New research published by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics offers a compelling explanation for the strange ...

Mars' magnetic mystery may finally have a solution—scientists now think the Red Planet’s ancient magnetic field only existed ...

The planet's once-strong magnetic field appears to have been limited to its southern hemisphere, the apparent result of a fully liquid inner core that differs from that of Earth ...

Uncover the mysteries of Mars' magnetic field, generated by a molten core, unlike Earth's solid core structure.

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than ...

An illustration of NASA's InSight spacecraft. The lander’s instruments found that Mars may have a fully molten core. That could explain Mars’ one-sided magnetic field according to research by the ...

Earth's rocky layers are mysteriously low in nitrogen compared with carbon and argon. A scientific team explored our planet's molten youth using advanced quantum mechanical simulations, revealing ...

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously ...

Until now, most studies of early Mars had relied on magnetic field models that gave the red planet an Earth-like inner core that's solid and surrounded by molten iron. The researchers were ...
