Earth’s inner core is less solid than we thought
Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer–or crust. It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core. The outer layer ...

Earth's inner core is undergoing a transformation
Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere.
