A diagram of Earth's interior with water leaking toward the core Scientists may have finally found the cause of a mysterious, crystal-forming layer that surrounds Earth's core — "leaking water" that ...
There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...
Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate than a simple metal ball. Instead of a single solid sphere, the inner core ...
Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, reversing its spin, is weirdly textured, and contains an unusual state of ...
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, ...
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 ...
A new study has revealed that water from the Earth's surface can penetrate deep into the planet, altering the composition of the outermost region of the metallic liquid core and creating a distinct, ...
Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing an unusual ...
New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.
Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center. A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core. This ...
A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation, ...
