A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.

Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...

The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball of ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. It's believed to play an important role in maintaining the planet’s ...

A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

The two continent-sized provinces have been known since the 1970s, but it’s only in the last few years we’ve started to ...

The outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel, is known for its role in generating Earth's magnetic field. Until now, its impact on the inner core was poorly understood. The study reveals that ...

Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic ...

A major scientific breakthrough has settled a decades-old debate about the moon’s interior. Researchers have confirmed that ...
