New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster than Earth's core, thanks to molten iron and nickel sulfides seeping down through solid rock and into the center of the Red Planet.

Mars has a solid inner core, according to a new study published in Nature. Using seismic data from NASA’s InSight lander, researchers identified a dense, solid core about 600 kilometers wide, ...

Mars is known for its barren desert landscape and dry climate. But two recent studies in the journals Nature and Science go beneath the surface,... The core of Mars looks like Earth’s. What makes the ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists revealed Wednesday that Mars’ innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth’s. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic ...

New research published by the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics offers a compelling explanation for the strange nature of Mars’ ancient magnetic field. The study suggests that the Red ...

Previous analyses of seismic activity on Mars suggested its core was surprisingly large, with a low density. Two new studies suggest the opposite. NASA, ESA and Z. Levay (STScI) The Red Planet’s core ...

If the explorers from Journey to the Center of the Earth were to journey to the center of Mars instead, they definitely wouldn’t come across the subterranean oceans or live dinosaurs they encountered ...
