Molten rock deep inside the Earth can carry far more oxygen than textbook chemistry allows, according to experiments led by ...

Scientists have discovered that magma deep inside Earth can store surprising amounts of extra oxygen, potentially revealing a ...

Molten rock deep inside Earth can take up an extra supply of oxygen under pressure, according to a new study. That finding ...

Deep beneath Japan’s Kikai caldera, a massive magma reservoir is refilling 7,300 years after one of the most powerful ...

A seismic survey under the sea south of Kyushu has found a large, partly molten body of rock beneath Japan’s Kikai caldera, and the researchers behind it say it is the same magma reservoir that fed ...

Researchers have found that magma can store excess oxygen, suggesting ancient volcanic eruptions may have contributed to Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere billions of years ago.

Oxygen-rich laboratory melts retained extra oxygen under pressure, revealing a possible transport mechanism within Earth.

New research reveals that molten rock can absorb far more oxygen than expected, potentially helping explain how Earth's ...

For possibly the first time in 1,000 years, volcanic eruptions spewing magma are thought to have occurred off the coast of ...

Early in the formation of Earth, an ocean of magma covered the planet’s surface and stretched thousands of miles deep into its core. The rate at which that “magma ocean” cooled affected the formation ...
