By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

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.

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

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

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball ...

a geophysicist at the University of New Mexico who was not involved in the study but studies Earth's core. The findings ...

Inner core The inner core is 2900 km below the Earth’s surface, in the centre of the Earth, and is the hottest layer. It is spherical and solid and made up of iron and nickel. Its temperatures ...

Earth's inner core is slowing down, changing shape CTV science and tech specialist Dan Riskin joins CTV Your Morning to chat about how Earth's inner core affects both humans and the planet. CTV ...

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

Nucleation and growth of Earth’s solid inner core has a crucial role powering the geomagnetic field. This Review explores the timing and mechanisms of inner core growth consistent with physical ...
