‘It’s almost science fiction’: Scientists say the shape of Earth’s inner core is changing
Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward, Earth’s inner core in changing shape.
Earth’s inner core is not solid, it is 'shape-shifting' - time for textbooks to be rewritten
New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions about its solidity.
Earth’s Core Is Changing Shape
A new study shows that the inner core changed shape in just a few decades, challenging previous assumptions and revealing hidden dynamics deep within Earth.
Earth’s Inner Core Is Changing Shape, Study Finds, Indicating Even More Dynamic Shifts Deep Within Our Planet
Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges
Researchers Uncover Mysterious Structural Changes in Earth’s Inner Core
A new study reveals that the Earth's inner core is undergoing a structural transformation. A new study by USC scientists, published in Nature Geoscience, reveals structural changes near the Earth's inner core,
Earth’s inner core isn’t just slowing, it’s also shape-shifting, study finds
The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape.
