helium 3: Earth's core is leaking an isotope that can produce a year's electricity from just 100 kg, finds a study
A new study has found unusually high levels of helium-3 (³He) in lava flows on Baffin Island, suggesting that the Earth's core might be leaking this rare isotope. This challenges the traditional understanding of the Earth's core as an isolated entity and indicates a higher level of activity within our planet.
