Well radioactive material at the core could provide enough energy for themosynthesis, but that is only like to be able to sustain very simple organisms. But you'd need to have more materials than normal because in the planets that have molten cores the tidle forces inacted on it by the sun and their moons tend to have a very large effect. If someone were to find drilling and tunneling methods sufficently advanced they could be colonies but i wouldn't expect to find native intellegent life.However i might be the perfect place for ancient beings to be hiding.
