Scientists discover yet another change to Earth’s inner core

‘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 deforming—here’s what we know
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 changes have been observed on human timescales.
Scientists discover yet another change to Earth’s inner core: Its shape
Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating more material in some areas and less in others — almost like creating hills and valleys.
Earth's inner core may have changed shape, say scientists
The inner core of Earth may have changed shape in the past 20 years, according to a group of scientists. The inner core is usually thought to be shaped like a ball, but its edges may actually have deformed by 100m or more in height in places, according to Prof John Vidale who led the research.
Earth’s Solid Inner Core Is Changing Shape, New Study Finds
Researchers found evidence that the Earth's inner core is changing shape, suggesting unseen processes affecting its movement over time.
Strange doughnut-shaped structure found inside Earth’s core – We don’t know what it is
We are unsure of the nature of the strange doughnut-shaped structure discovered inside the Earth's core. We thought Earth had only four layers.
Scientists baffled as Earth's inner core may have changed shape
Scientists have been baffled by the recent discovery that the inner core of the Earth could be changing shape. The inner core may have changed shape over the last 20 years, with its edges deforming by 100 metres or more in some places, a group of scientists have said.
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
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.

Earth’s inner core is far less solid than previously believed
Deep beneath the Earth's surface, the inner core has long been thought of as a solid sphere, steadily growing as the outer core cools and crystallizes. However, a new study suggests that the inner ...
