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

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The internal, infernal machinations of our planet may be way more complex than we suspected. A new, detailed probe of Earth's heart reveals that the rotating inner core doesn't just change in rotation ...

The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth’s evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Earth's solid inner core has begun to slow its rotation relative to the surface, a shift detected through seismic data. This ...

Precious metals may be escaping from the planet’s core. This hotly debated subject could help us understand Earth’s evolution and determine whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe ...

Our Earth is structured sort of like an onion – it’s one layer after another. Starting from the top down, there’s the crust, which includes the surface you walk on; then farther down, the mantle, ...

The surface of the Earth's inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study by USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet's center, published in Nature Geoscience. The changes ...

Researchers in England believe carbon played a key role in freezing Earth’s core. As it contributes to the cooling and freezing of the molten outer core, the solid, iron-rich center of Earth continues ...
