They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth's core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

Our planet’s core is made mostly of iron, but it might also contain primordial helium that formed just after the Big Bang. Helium normally has trouble bonding with other elements, but ...
