Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

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 ...

However, researchers from the University of Southern Carolina (USC) now say they discovered — almost by accident — that the ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have ...

Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer –or crust. It consists of two main parts ...

The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal.

Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the ...

A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s ...
