A river of molten iron, more than 2,000 kilometers below the surface, appears to have pulled off something Earth scientists ...

Scientists discovered a mysterious reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific using satellite data from space.

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

No one knows why the river of liquid iron flowing 1,400 miles beneath our feet just reversed course.

Scientists are working to solve a mystery of Earth’s molten outer core, which lies more than 2,000 kilometers beneath our ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth's crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

A new study adds evidence to the idea that Earth's inner core is slowing its spin, though still rotating in the same direction as the planet. KATERYNA KON / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY via Getty Images The ...

New research from Florida State University and Rice University is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth’s outer core, and the work suggests the core could be the planet’s ...

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 ...
