The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core, and inner core. Scientists believe that the inner core’s rotation began to slow down in 2010, but what that really means has been up for ...
Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...
Deep beneath the Earth's surface, the inner core has long been thought of as a solid sphere, steadily growing as the outer core cools and crystallizes. However, a new study suggests that the inner ...
Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may not be fully solid. A rare “superionic” state of matter could explain ...
The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the ...
An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. Read the paper: Seismic detection of a ...
Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of any drill, new research suggests that Earth’s center is far more intricate ...
Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from NERC grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth’s inner core — a solid ball of iron and ...
