What if part of the Earth's water was hidden... at the very heart of the planet? Experiments recreating the extreme conditions of the Earth's nucleus reveal the presence of hydrogen in the nucleus, a discovery that could upset our understanding of the origin of water.
Earth’s core may hold 45 oceans worth of hydrogen, study finds
A new scientific revelation reveals that deep in the Earth’s core lies a good amount of hydrogen as well as a large amount of iron. While the iron in the core has always been recognized as dominant, the addition of hydrogen could account for up to 45 ocean equivalents of hydrogen when compared to the amount found in Earth’s oceans today, according to a report just published in Nature Communications. Scientists have known for many years that pure…
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in their investigations deep within our planet. According to new research reported by CNN International, Earth's core may hold a massive hydrogen reserve with the potential to create far more water than all the oceans on its surface combined. These striking findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, offer data that could fundamentally change our theories about the formation of our pl…
The Earth’s core is a huge hidden reservoir of hydrogen
12.02.2026 - Recent research from ETH Zurich has revealed that the Earth's core contains significantly more hydrogen than previously believed. The analysis suggests that a substantial amount of hydrogen entered the core during the early stages of the Earth's formation.
Even if we can never exploit it, knowing that such a quantity of hydrogen sleeps in the depths of our planet radically changes our theories about the appearance of life on Earth.
The oceans are the largest entity on the Earth's surface. However, all this blue could be eclipsed by a huge hydrogen reservoir hidden in the heart of the planet. Experiments indicate that enough hydrogen to form dozens of water-oceans may have been buried in the Earth's nucleus during its formation, [...]
