LOS ANGELES — USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel ...

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 ...

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 ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists revealed this week that Mars’ innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth’s. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance. The surface ...
