Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

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 ...

The rotation of Earth's inner core began to slow down more than a decade ago, altering the length of our days by fractions of a second. Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) ...

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 ...

The blobs lie at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 1,802 miles beneath Africa and the Pacific.

Researchers have found evidence of changes in the structure of the Earth’s core. University of Southern California team, led ...

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 ...

(CNN) — Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery. This inner core has intrigued ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...
