Earth's core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core, and inner core. Scientists believe that the inner core’s rotation began to slow down in 2010, but what that really means has been up for ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

A new series of experiments has shown that the mysterious "E-prime layer," which surrounds Earth's outer core, is created by water that leaks deep into our planet's interior. When you purchase through ...

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 ...
