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 ...

Earth's mysterious core is yet again generating headlines as scientists learn more about what lies way beneath our feet. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by ...

Researchers have found evidence that Earth's core is leaking gold and other precious metals, according to a new study. The vast majority (99.9%) of Earth's gold and other precious metals are hidden in ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

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 ...

Scientists who just months ago confirmed that Earth's inner core recently reversed its spin have a new revelation about our planet's deepest secrets — they identified changes to the inner core's shape ...
