Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

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

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. Scientists believe that the inner core’s rotation began to slow down in 2010, but what that really means has been up for ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

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 ...

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 ...
