The thermal stability of this phase makes it a potential candidate to form a Martian inner core. Quartz-rich clasts in Martian meteorite NWA 7533 indicate the presence of granitic rocks on early ...

You’ve probably familiar with the abs muscles—the ones you see poppin' on sculpted celebs like J.Lo or Halle Berry, but there ...

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 ...

Made up of two parts, the liquid outer core and solid inner core, Earth's core is roughly nine percent hotter than the surface of the Sun. It plays a vital role in generating our planet's magnetic ...

Why Trust Us? A new study analyzing decades of seismogram data shows that physical changes can occur at the surface of the Earth’s inner core. This means that the surface of the inner core could ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.

The Earth's inner core, long considered a solid and stable sphere, may be quite different. A recent study suggests that its surface is undergoing structural transformations, challenging our ...
