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 ...

The spinning, solid inner core of the Earth may be slowing down by a minuscule amount, according to evidence from earthquakes. Researchers Yang Yi and Song Xiaodong from Peking University in China ...

The rotation of Earth's inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests. The Earth is formed of the crust, the mantle and the inner and outer cores. The solid inner ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

The inner Earth is a mysterious place, and now scientists may have uncovered a strange new secret. According to a new study, the Earth’s inner core may have recently stopped rotating, relative to the ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...

“It’s probably benign, but we don’t want to have things we don’t understand deep in the Earth.” Now, a recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience reveals a curious new detail ...

Scientists have debated for years about what's going on with Earth's inner core. A new study offers compelling evidence that the inner core reversed direction and is slowing down. The shift happened ...
