Researchers have found evidence of changes in the structure of the Earth's core. University of Southern California team, led by Professor John Vidale, was investigating the inner core's rotation – a ...

Earth's mysterious core is yet again generating headlines as scientists learn more about what lies way beneath our feet. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by ...

Deep beneath the Earth's surface, the inner core has long been thought of as a solid sphere, steadily growing as the outer core cools and crystallizes. However, a new study suggests that the inner ...

Earth's inner core, the solid iron-rich mass at the center of our planet, is slowly growing as the surrounding molten outer core cools and freezes. But this process has been a source of debate amongst ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Earth’s inner core, a solid metal ball gyrating within the molten outer core, may be both slowing down and changing shape. Recent analyses of earthquake waves have suggested that ...

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 ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s happening at the heart of the planet — which was long thought to be solid ...
