New Research Sheds Light on Iron’s Role in Earth’s Core Dynamics

New Research Sheds Light on Iron’s Role in Earth’s Core Dynamics

Iron, a primary component of the Earth’s core, exhibits unique behaviours under extreme temperatures and pressures. Recent research has examined its melting temperature and phase stability under conditions mirroring those at the Earth’s core. Findings from advanced experiments involving ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy have highlighted significant revelations about the structural and thermal properties of iron. These discoveries hold potential to …
