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

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, ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...

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 may be layered like an onion, with silicon and carbon creating distinct zones that explain seismic wave ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists revealed this week 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 ...
