The project in Beaver County involves the drilling of one of two deep, deviated wells seeking to capture geothermal energy ...

Scientists have known for a while that Mars currently lacks a magnetic field, and many blame that for its paltry atmosphere – with no protective shield around the planet, the solar wind was able to ...

The different temperatures of these two structures, compared to their surrounding regions, impact how heat dissipates from Earth's core, which in turn affects the convection in the core that ...

The Earth's interior is composed of four layers ... in diameter. Although this inner core is white hot, the pressure is so high the iron cannot melt. The iron isn't pure—scientists believe ...

producing enough energy and heat to vaporize any water or melt any rock that may be present. Gravity also helps separate heavy elements from lighter ones. Iron sinks to form Earth's core ...

considered possibilities where the heat from proton decay would show up in the development of the Earth's iron core, and in a neutron star. In GUTs, proton decay could proceed by many channels ...

Much of Earth's heat uptake is passed to the ocean, making ocean heat content key for understanding long-term climate ...

USC researchers identified a six-year cycle of super- and sub-rotation in the Earth's inner core, contradicting previously accepted models that suggested it consistently rotates at a faster rate ...

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

But scientists have recently discovered an unexpected clue that might help improve forecasts: the sun’s heat. Scientists understand the basics of earthquakes. The Earth’s crust consists of ...
