Deep inside Earth, researchers see signs that the solid inner core may be arranged in multiple chemical layers far below.
A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...
Researchers have found evidence of changes in the structure of the Earth's core. University of Southern California team, led by Professor John Vidale, was investigating the inner core's rotation – a ...
New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...
The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...
Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit ...
A research team led by the University of Münster has discovered new evidence of a layered structure in the Earth’s inner core ...
Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...
At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer—like the ...
Buried about 3,220 miles (5,180 kilometers) deep inside Earth, the solid metal inner core is surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. The inner core is made mostly of iron and nickel, and it is ...
An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior ...
Scientists who just months ago confirmed that Earth's inner core recently reversed its spin have a new revelation about our planet's deepest secrets — they identified changes to the inner core's shape ...
