First, a few basics. The Earth’s inner core, which is smaller than the moon, is solid iron and nickel. It’s surrounded by a layer of molten metal known as the outer core, followed by the Earth’s ...

Geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking beautiful displays of the Northern Lights across our night sky. However, there is a potential danger behind that beauty, especially now, with solar activity ...

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

Our planet, Earth, is structurally composed of a series of concentric internal spherical layers that are divided into: crust, upper mantle, mantle, outer core and inner core. Everything we know ...

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.

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

Not only is Earth’s inner core spinning and growing, but it’s also changing shape, according to new research. Our planet’s [… ...

New research suggests that Earth's inner core may not be as solid as previously believed. Scientists studying seismic waveforms have discovered structural changes in the core, which challenge ...
