Heading #3 About the core of our planet

#3 About the core of our planet

The illustration on the heading shows the curve of a diagram that proves that the Earth's core is solid.

Is the core of our earth liquid or solid? Without drilling an impossibly deep hole, one of our scientists has proven that the core is solid. The size of this core is slightly smaller than the size of the moon. We apply seismology to research this. The discovery of the J wave in the Flores Sea was proof and teaches us about the evolution of magnetic fields that are essential for life on Earth.

Our university is a great treasure chest full of beautiful stories. Every plate and cup from the Science x Porcelain collection tells such a story. The scientific patterns on the porcelain are the result of leading research and at the same time a decorative element.

The porcelain was made by Cor Unum, a ceramic studio in 's-Hertogenbosch where beautiful ceramics are made with great passion and craftsmanship. Cor Unum works with a team of professionals, students, designers, volunteers and people with distance to the labor market.
