The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

The core of the Earth is undergoing surprise structural changes, researchers believe. A new study has seen scientists unexpectedly find that the inner core of our planet is changing its physical ...

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

New research from Florida State University and Rice University is providing a better estimate of the amount of carbon in the Earth’s outer core, and the work suggests the core could be the planet’s ...

LONDON — Picture all of Earth's oceans, which cover about 70% of the planet and are mostly made of hydrogen. Now multiply that by nine. That may be the amount of hydrogen in Earth's core, possibly ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth’s crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...

A new study adds evidence to the idea that Earth's inner core is slowing its spin, though still rotating in the same direction as the planet. KATERYNA KON / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY via Getty Images The ...
