We typically think of the Oort cloud as scattered ice balls floating far from the sun, yet still tied to it gravitationally.

A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, ...

New research suggests that Earth's inner core may not be as solid as previously believed. Scientists studying seismic waveforms have discovered structural changes in the core, which challenge ...

Scientists accidentally discovered that the Earth's inner core might not be how we thought it was - and it could affect the ...

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

Our planet, Earth, is structurally composed of a series of concentric internal spherical layers that are divided into: crust, upper mantle, mantle, outer core and inner core. Every ...

New force distributions revealed by the calculations, on top of the probability map of finding a quark in the proton. Joshua ...

The Earth's inner core, long considered a solid and stable sphere ... The analysis of seismic waves allows us to deduce its structure and composition. As these waves pass through different layers, ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks—the tiny particles ...

The inner core of the Earth, which is found about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) under the surface, sits within a molten outer core, and is anchored by gravity. Once commonly thought of as a solid ...

Learn how forces deep underground generate a protective bubble between us and space.
