Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

A new study offers compelling evidence that Earth's inner core reversed direction and is slowing down.

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core, and inner core. Scientists believe that the inner core’s rotation began to slow down in 2010, but what that really means has been up for ...

Earth's inner core may be layered like an onion, with silicon and carbon creating distinct zones that explain seismic wave ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth’s crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...

Earth’s core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core. The inner core is formed and ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate ...
