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

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 ...

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 ...

A detailed isotopic study of Hawaiian volcanic rocks reveals signatures of core‑derived material, suggesting the core and ...

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

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

A German university, Göttingen University, has literally "struck gold" in recent findings from volcanic rocks. A new study of ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth's core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that Earth's core isn't as isolated as once thought. Researchers discovered that valuable ...

Our data confirmed that material from the core, including gold and other precious metals, is leaking into the Earth’s mantle ...

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