Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

The chemistry at the center of our planet has eluded scientists for centuries. But new research from Arizona State University has shone a light on these mysterious internal processes, suggesting the ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core, and inner core. Scientists believe that the inner core’s rotation began to slow down in 2010, but what that really means has been up for ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth’s metallic heart is not as sealed off as geologists once assumed ...

Illustration of silica crystals coming out from the liquid metal of the Earth's outer core due to a water-induced chemical reaction. A few decades ago, seismologists imaging the deep planet identified ...

Earth’s inner core has both changed its relative rotation rate and deformed in the past few decades, according to an analysis of seismic waves recorded when the inner core occupied the same relative ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s happening at the heart of the planet — which was long thought to be solid ...

Around 1,800 miles beneath your feet lies a giant, blazing-hot ball of metal. It's the innermost part of our planet, Earth's core. It has a profound impact on your life, though none of us can even ...
