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

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 ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional waves generated by earthquakes travel roughly 3 to 4 percent faster along Earth ...

Earth's inner core may be layered like an onion, with silicon and carbon creating distinct zones that explain seismic wave ...

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

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

(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 ...

A new study offers compelling evidence that Earth's inner core reversed direction and is slowing down.

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from NERC grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth’s inner core — a solid ball of iron and ...
