The core of the Red Planet may be filled with sulfur. New experiments have shown that the core of Mars formed much faster ...

Mars may be smaller than Earth, but new research suggests it outpaced our planet when it came to forming its core. Scientists ...

New science indicates that Mars' core formed rapidly. The evidence puts it at just a few million years after the solar system ...

With the discovery of this molten layer ... the heat coming from the core and prevents the core from cooling, but also concentrates radioactive elements whose decay generates heat" Lekic said.

But the new analysis, which included additional seismic signals, indicates that what was once thought to be the surface of the Martian core is actually a thick molten rock layer. The actual core ...

The actual core is buried beneath that molten-rock layer and has a radius ... the magma would have left behind a deep layer of radioactive elements that still release heat and keep rock molten ...

However, new research into some of InSight’s data suggests that the object believed to make up Mars’s core is actually just a thick, molten rock layer surrounding a much smaller inner core ...

Between Mars’ solid mantle and liquid core, it’s kept molten by heat from radioactive elements. The newly described layer would also act as an insulating blanket around the planet’s core ...

The heat emanating from the radioactive elements would ... The paper, “Geophysical evidence for an enriched molten silicate layer above Mars’ core,” was published in Nature on October ...
