Atoms within the enormous ball of iron in Earth's inner core may move around much more than previously thought, which could explain recent findings about the core's surprising softness. When you ...

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, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s ...

The Earth is in a constant state of flux, and changes are constant on its surface and deep within its core. The shifting tectonic plates, climate variations, and even the movement of the magnetic ...

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 ...

New research reveals that carbon made it possible for Earth’s molten core to freeze into a solid heart, stabilizing the magnetic field that protects our planet. Without it, Earth’s deep interior — and ...

Earth’s core consists of a solid iron-nickel ball rotating within a layer of liquid metal. But that ball may not be as simple as it seems: new research suggests the inner core contains its own inner ...

Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the ...
