Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit the familiar categories of solid or liquid. At the center of Earth, they say ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance. The surface ...

Scientists have long thought Earth's inner core is like a huge solid metal ball. But an experiment revealed it may be a lot softer — more like butter, a lead scientist said. It could help explain why ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

Earth’s core isn’t just a boring, featureless ball of metal, it turns out. A recent study used seismic waves from earthquakes to make a 3D model of the center of our planet, and the researchers ...

A new study analyzing decades of seismogram data shows that physical changes can occur at the surface of the Earth’s inner core. This means that the surface of the inner core could be more viscous ...

Earth’s core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core. The inner core is formed and ...

Scientists who just months ago confirmed that Earth's inner core recently reversed its spin have a new revelation about our planet's deepest secrets — they identified changes to the inner core's shape ...
