“Later on, I’d realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid.” The breakthrough came from comparing seismic recordings at two different locations in North America. The ...

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.

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.

“Later on, I’d realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid.” Other than producing the Earth's magnetic field, Vidale admitted that what happens to the Earth's inner core ...

"Later on, I'd realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid." Further, the data showed that the inner core had been moving and not behaving like a solid ball of metal. Visualizing ...

"Later on, I’d realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid." Once Vidale's team improved the resolution technique, they found the seismic waveforms "represented additional ...

“Later on, I’d realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid.” The study used seismic waveform data - including 121 repeating earthquakes from 42 locations near Antarctica ...

“Later on, I’d realize I was staring at evidence the inner core is not solid,” he added. His team was studying seismic data from 121 repeating earthquakes at 42 locations near Antarctica’s South ...

LOS ANGELES — USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and ...
