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 ...
There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...
For generations, scientists have probed the structure and composition of the planet using seismic wave studies. This consists of measuring shock waves caused by earthquakes as they penetrate and pass ...
Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...
Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...
Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate than a simple metal ball. Instead of a single solid sphere, the inner core ...
Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center. A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core. This ...
The historic understanding of the earth’s inner core has been called into question by a group of scientists from the Australian National University after analysing earthquake data. Seismologists from ...
The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...
