Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown doughnut-shaped region within Earth's outer core, offering new insights into the dynamics of the planet's magnetic field. Located thousands of kilometers ...

Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate ...

The chemistry at the center of our planet has eluded scientists for centuries. But new research from Arizona State University has shone a light on these mysterious internal processes, suggesting the ...

For generations, scientists have probed the structure and composition of the planet using seismic wave studies. This consists of measuring shock waves caused by earthquakes as they penetrate and pass ...

The Earth’s inner core is incredibly tricky to study, since it’s buried beneath thousands of miles of rock. New seismic studies suggest that it’s not just a solid ball of iron, as has been assumed, ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

The historic understanding of the earth’s inner core has been called into question by a group of scientists from the Australian National University after analysing earthquake data. Seismologists from ...

An earthquake originating from Alaska caused seismic waves to penetrate the innermost inner core of the Earth. (Credit: Drew Whitehouse, Son Phạm and Hrvoje Tkalčic) Planet Earth is a marvelous ...
