Deep beneath the familiar blue of the oceans, Earth may be hiding a far larger sea of potential. New high pressure experiments suggest the planet’s metallic heart could store hydrogen equivalent to ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

Earth's core contains nine to 45 times more hydrogen than the planet's oceans do, according to a new study that could settle a debate about when and how hydrogen was delivered to Earth.

Deep below the crust and mantle, far beyond the reach of any drill, Earth’s core may be hiding a planetary-scale cache of hydrogen. Recent high‑pressure experiments suggest that this hidden store ...
