A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

The inner core of Earth may have changed shape in the past 20 years, according to a group of scientists. The inner core is ...

A new study has seen scientists unexpectedly find that the inner core of our planet is changing its physical nature ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

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 ...

Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the ...

He and his colleagues report the finding today in Nature Geoscience 1. Earth’s inner core is surrounded by an outer core, and the interface between the two, around 5,100 kilometres below the ...

“What we’re observing in this study for the first time is likely the outer core disturbing the inner core,” explains Vidale. Turbulence in Earth’s molten outer core disrupts the boundary ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. It's believed to play an important role in maintaining the planet’s ...

Planetary Potato: Earth has a complex internal structure consisting of a solid iron-nickel core at the center and a liquid outer core. The interaction between these two elements can significantly ...

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.

But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape as they press against the liquid iron and nickel in Earth’s outer core. “The molten outer core is ...
