For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet ...
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also ...
A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...
Earth’s core is transforming, which could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field, and more ...
Previous research has found that the rotation of the inner core is slowing down relative to the rotation of the external ...
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...
Not only is Earth’s inner core spinning and growing, but it’s also changing shape, according to new research. Our planet’s [… ...
What is happening in Earth's inner core? Discover the implications of its deformation for seismic activity and navigation.
Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the ...
Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating ...
The study analyzed decades of seismic data, including recordings of repeating earthquakes near Antarctica between 1991 and ...
