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

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 ...

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 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 ...

Deep beneath Hawaii’s volcanic islands, a chemical mystery is rising to the surface. Within flows of molten rock, scientists ...

Scientists studied volcanic rocks from deep below the lithosphere. These rocks surfaced through magma plumes beneath ocean ...

Researchers from the University of Göttingen discovered traces of precious metals, including ruthenium and gold, rising from ...

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

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

A new study found rare metals, including gold, leaking from Earth’s core to the surface through volcanic activity.

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