Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Study Reveals Precious Metal Seepage
A new study analyzing Hawaiian basalt rocks provides strong evidence that gold and other precious metals are leaking from Earth's core into the mantle, eventually reaching the surface; this three-year study, published in Nature, challenges previous assumptions about the core's isolation.

Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Evidence from Hawaiian Lava
Researchers discovered evidence that some of Earth's gold originates from the core, using rubidium-100 isotope ratios in Hawaiian lava as a tracer for core material that rises to the surface via mantle plumes, forming gold-bearing magmas and deposits.

Ancient Glaciers' Role in Complex Life's Evolution
A new study reveals that over half a billion years ago, during the Cryogenian period or "Snowball Earth," glaciers transported earth minerals into the ocean, altering its chemistry and potentially influencing the evolution of complex life; this research also highlights the importance of addressing m...

New Mechanism Explains Formation of Gold Deposits in Subduction Zones
A research team discovered that a specific sulfur ion (trisulfur) under high pressure and temperature (50-80km depth) facilitates gold transfer from Earth's mantle into magma rising to the surface via subduction zones, mainly around the Pacific Ocean, leading to gold deposit formation.

Earth's Core: Source of Gold Migration to Surface Confirmed
A new study confirms Earth's core holds over 99% of the planet's gold, with some gradually migrating to the surface via mantle plumes, as evidenced by the discovery of core-specific ruthenium isotopes in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.

Volcanic Activity and Continental Growth Increased Atmospheric Oxygen Before the Great Oxidation Event
A Japanese research team's study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, used numerical modeling to demonstrate how intense volcanism and continental growth during the late Archean Eon increased atmospheric oxygen levels before the Great Oxidation Event by enriching oceans with nutrients a...

Ancient Supercontinents Found Deep Within Earth's Mantle
New research using seismic wave attenuation analysis reveals two enormous supercontinents buried deep within Earth's mantle, challenging previous assumptions about the mantle's consistency and composition; these structures may be ancient anchors influencing plate tectonics and potentially the source...

New Study Suggests Moon Formed 180 Million Years Earlier
A new study posits the Moon formed 180 million years earlier than previously estimated, between 4.430 and 4.530 billion years ago, due to a global melting event caused by tidal heating after the impact with Theia, which reset the crystallization process and erased early impact traces.
