Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar ...

Is Earth's inner core solid or liquid? While the inner core is extremely hot, experts have known that it is solid for many ...

A newly discovered doughnut shape in Earth's outer core may reveal elements that help drive the formation of the planet's magnetic field.

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 ...

Earth’s core is located below the middle layer called the mantle and the outer layer –or crust. It consists of two main parts–a liquid outer core and a more solid inner core.

A new study from USC scientists reveals Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation.

The Earth’s inner core, a ball of iron and nickel about 1,500 miles wide, is deformed on its surface by the movements of the liquid outer core. Edward Sotelo/USC Graphic ...

The surface of Earth's inner core appears to be dynamic, changing shape as it rotates, earthquake waves reveal.

Yes, the days are getting shorter, with researchers saying the Earth has been spinning faster than usual this year. Here's ...

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

Turbulent molten outer earth core The study indicates that the surface of the inner core is likely “undergoing viscous deformation” – essentially, it's changing shape at its boundary.

Earth's innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.
