Earth's Core Leaks Gold: Study Reveals Deep-Earth Processes
A German study published in Nature reveals that over 99% of Earth's gold is locked in its core, with some slowly escaping to the surface via volcanic magma, a discovery made by detecting high concentrations of ruthenium-100 in Hawaiian volcanic rocks.
