While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own ...

Hidden mega-structures deep inside Earth may have been quietly steering our planet’s magnetic field—and rewriting what we ...

Ancient volcanic rocks reveal how two giant hot regions beneath Africa and the Pacific have shaped Earth's magnetic shield.

The inner core was discovered in 1936, and its size (about 20% of Earth's radius) is one of the best-constrained properties of the deep Earth. We use this information to estimate the core's ...

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, ...

Learn about the continent-sized rocks hidden deep within Earth's mantle that have influenced the magnetic field for millions ...

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

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

Earth’s inner core has both changed its relative rotation rate and deformed in the past few decades, according to an analysis of seismic waves recorded when the inner core occupied the same relative ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...
