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

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 ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also ...

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent ...
