In a groundbreaking revelation, a Croatian energy company has uncovered an underwater reservoir of superheated water, holding the potential to supply clean geothermal electricity to the northern regions of the country. This extraordinary discovery is the culmination of a two-year investigative effort undertaken by the state-owned power company, Bukotermal, aimed at identifying suitable locations for tapping into the Earth’s core-generated energy.

The extensive study has validated the presence of a geothermal water source in the Lunjkovec – Kutnjak field, nestled within Varazdin County, close to the Hungarian border. Located at a depth of 2.4 kilometers, this subterranean reservoir maintains an average temperature of 142.03 degrees Celsius.

Physicists have taken a significant step toward unraveling one of the most profound enigmas in geophysics: the origin of the Earth’s magnetic field.

A team of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with scientists from Sichuan and Nanjing Universities in China, believes they have unearthed a fundamental physical mechanism that can help elucidate the surprisingly “soft” characteristics of the Earth’s dense inner core.

Deep within the Earth, approximately 1,800 miles beneath the crust, resides a spherical core primarily composed of iron and nickel. This core, with temperatures ranging from about 8,000 to 10,800 degrees Fahrenheit, consists of two layers: the liquid outer core and the dense, solid inner core. The movement of iron atoms within this core is understood to power the Earth’s magnetic field, a vital element in rendering the planet habitable. This magnetic field not only establishes compass directions but also acts as a protective shield, deflecting potent radiation from solar storms.
