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 ...

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. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance. The surface ...

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

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 ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

Deep beneath the Earth's surface, the inner core has long been thought of as a solid sphere, steadily growing as the outer core cools and crystallizes. However, a new study suggests that the inner ...

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 ...

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

LOS ANGELES — USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer—like the ...
