Here we examine how our knowledge of present day Venus can inform terrestrial
exoplanetary science and how exoplanetary science can inform our study of Venus. In a …

The remarkable electronic properties of graphene and related two-dimensional (2D)
materials result from the confinement of electrons within the material. Similarly, the interstitial …

This paper reviews the remarkable developments in numerical geodynamo simulations over
the last few years. Simulations with Ekman numbers as low as E= 10− 8 E= 10− 8 are now …

Earth continuously generates a dipole magnetic field in its convecting liquid outer core by a
self-sustained dynamo action. Metallic iron is a dominant component of the outer core, so its …

It has been recently suggested that white dwarfs generate magnetic fields in a process
analogous to the Earth. The crystallization of the core creates a compositional inversion that …

Thermal interactions between Earth's core and mantle provide the power that maintains the
geomagnetic field. However, the effect of these interactions and, in particular, the …

Light elements in Earth's core play a key role in driving convection and influencing
geodynamics, both of which are crucial to the geodynamo. However, the thermal transport …

We measure the electrical resistivity of hcp iron up to∼ 170 GPa and∼ 3000 K using a four-
probe van der Pauw method coupled with homogeneous flattop laser heating in a DAC, and …

Seismic studies have found fine-scale anomalies at the core–mantle boundary (CMB), such
as ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs), and the core rigidity zone,. ULVZs have been attributed …

Earth's magnetic field is generated by turbulent motion in its fluid outer core. Although the
bulk of the outer core is vigorously convecting and well mixed, some seismic, geomagnetic …
