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 ...

Thanks to advances in seismology, researchers continue to uncover new insights into the planet’s inner core. A recent study reveals that although it’s made of a solid iron-nickel alloy, its surface ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered its clearest view yet of a supermassive black hole's immediate surroundings, ...

A twisting black hole jet is pushing gas across a star-forming galaxy, revealing how black holes can reshape disks from the ...

March and April offer the best weather for travel, while Tet – Vietnamese New Year, typically in February – promises a ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

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 ...

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 ...

Australian National University geophysics professor Tkalčić (The Earth’s Inner Core) offers a sweeping account of how scientists study earthquakes to better understand the planet’s structure and inner ...

New research suggests that amino acids, the fundamental components of life, may have arrived on Earth carried by interstellar ...

"One thing popped out as clear as anything, this previously unknown 'bar' of ionized iron atoms, in the middle of the ...
