The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth’s evolution. The core not only powers the ...

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 wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...

Scientists have debated for years about what's going on with Earth's inner core. A new study offers compelling evidence that the inner core reversed direction and is slowing down. The shift happened ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth's crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...

The mysteries of Earth’s inner core have long been a topic of intrigue for scientists, with the planet’s central engine playing a key role in shaping our world. Recent research has unveiled an ...

We know the temperature of Earth ’s inner core is very roughly about 5,000 Kelvin (K) (4,727°C). It was once liquid, but has cooled and become solid over time, expanding outwards in the process. As it ...

The Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere predominantly composed of iron and nickel, occupies a central role in our planet’s evolution and geodynamo processes. Although hidden beneath thousands of ...
