The Technical University of Munich has achieved a breakthrough in monitoring the Earth's axis, recording its subtle wobbles with a precision unmatched by previous instruments. Results of a 250-day experiment, published in Science Advances, demonstrate that the TUM ring laser provides accuracy 100 times greater than earlier gyroscopes or ring lasers.

A new study by researchers from Oxford, Leeds, and University College London has uncovered fresh insights into Earth's core chemistry by showing how crystallisation became possible millions of years ago. Published in Nature Communications, the research indicates that Earth's core required 3.8% carbon content to begin freezing.
This finding suggests that carbon is more abundant in the core
