Previous research has found that the rotation of the inner core is slowing down relative to the rotation of the external ...

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.However, ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s happening at the heart of the planet — which was long thought to ...

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 ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges ...

Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills ...

A major scientific breakthrough has settled a decades-old debate about the moon’s interior. Researchers have confirmed that ...

The new research adds to the mysteries of the planet’s deepest interior region. By Kenneth Chang The inner core at the center of the Earth, a ball of iron and nickel about 1,500 miles wide ...
