New data from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, which orbited Mercury for four years before it crashed into the surface of the planet a week ago, suggests that Mercury's liquid metal core had spawned a ...
Mercury's interior is different from the Earth's interior in a way that explains Mercury's bizarre magnetic field, planetary physicists report. Measurements from NASA's Messenger spacecraft have ...
Mercury’s core may be wearing a metal jacket. New experiments suggest the planet’s innards stay warm thanks to an insulating layer of iron sulfide, which could help to explain how the small world has ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- Mercury, the smallest of the eight planets with a diameter of 4900 kilometres and the closest to the Sun, looks more like the Moon than the Earth from the outside. It is the only ...
The discovery of superconductivity more than a century ago has significantly changed our world. The story began in 1911 when the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes observed that the electrical ...
