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

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

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Now, a new study seeking to explain anomalous data suggests Earth's core may be layered like an onion. Scientists in Germany ...

Far below the deepest boreholes, Earth’s core appears to keep its own rhythm, a slow magnetic throb that repeats roughly ...

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

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

Cartoon of the Earth with cutaway showing the mantle and inner and outer core. Magnetic field lines produced by the geodynamo extend into space and interact with the solar wind. The iron-rich core at ...
