TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered that Earth's core may be leaking helium-3, a rare and valuable element. High levels of helium-3 and neon-22 were found in volcanic rocks on Baffin Island, Canada, suggesting a deep source, possibly the core itself. Helium-3 is scarce on Earth but abundant in space, making it an ideal fuel for nuclear fusion. The leakage of helium-3 from the core could provide a new source of this precious element, potentially making nuclear fusion more feasible and accessible in the future.
