This video explains recent scientific findings about changes in Earth’s inner core rotation, what researchers measure, and how these shifts may relate to the planet’s deep interior dynamics. The ...

She pointed to evidence that the Earth’s inner core was solid — not liquid, as scientists had believed — a discovery that was ahead of its time. Inge Lehmann in 1932. She overcame discrimination in ...

PCWorld reports that scientists discovered Earth’s inner core has slowed its rotation relative to the crust, even appearing to stop moving in a phenomenon that occurs every 35 years. This iron-nickel ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Earth's inner core, the solid iron-rich mass at the center of our planet, is slowly growing as the surrounding molten outer core cools and freezes. But this process has been a source of debate amongst ...

Researchers in England believe carbon played a key role in freezing Earth’s core. As it contributes to the cooling and freezing of the molten outer core, the solid, iron-rich center of Earth continues ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists revealed Wednesday that Mars' innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth's. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic ...

An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. Read the paper: Seismic detection of a ...

All the activity on Earth’s surface — erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, restless seas and myriad forms of life — depends on the two-part engine under the hood. Directly beneath Earth’s ...
