Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) have discovered evidence suggesting that the Earth’s inner core is solid, according to a study published in the ...

Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Earth's solid inner core has begun to slow its rotation relative to the surface, a shift detected through seismic data. This ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional waves generated by earthquakes travel roughly 3 to 4 percent faster along Earth ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from earthquakes travel about 3 to 4 percent faster along the planet’s rotation axis ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

Far below the deepest boreholes, Earth’s core appears to keep its own rhythm, a slow magnetic throb that repeats roughly ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth’s evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...
