A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.

Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

Consequently, even though it is one of the closest stars to Earth, such that its light takes only six years to get here, it ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. It's believed to play an important role in maintaining the planet’s ...

A major scientific breakthrough has settled a decades-old debate about the moon’s interior. Researchers have confirmed that ...

"The molten outer core is widely known to be turbulent, but its turbulence had not been observed to disrupt its neighbor the inner core on a human timescale," John Vidale, a professor and earth ...

Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...

Scientists with a new theory about how Earth’s early continents formed predicted where a superold impact crater should ...

Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. Scientists have ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...

"The molten outer core is widely known to be turbulent, but its turbulence had not been observed to disrupt its neighbor the inner core on a human timescale," John Vidale, a professor and earth ...
