Deep beneath our feet lies a realm that continues to intrigue and mystify scientists: the Earth’s core. Recently, new ...

Earth’s core is pretty dynamic. Its spin speeds up and slows down based on how its two primary layers are behaving. As we improve the waveform techniques used to study the deepest layer ...

In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually deforming at its surface. This is the first time such structural ...

A recent study revealed that Earth’s inner core is slowing down, prompting scientists to investigate further. Their research led to an unexpected discovery: that inner core is not entirely solid.

What's it made of? New discoveries are even calling into question whether the core is solid. A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought.

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 ...

The latest discoveries about the inner core have fueled vigorous disagreements among the world's top Earth scientists, USC's John Vidale says. Some don't believe the core turns at all.

A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than previously thought ...

New research published this week suggests that the Earth's core is leaking and scientists aren't sure what that means.

Scientists have discovered a vast donut-shaped structure hidden within Earth which could hold the secret to why life was able to form on our planet.

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...
