An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior ...

We know the temperature of Earth's inner core is very roughly about 5,000 Kelvin (K) (4,727°C). It was once liquid, but has cooled and become solid over time, expanding outwards in the process. As it ...

A research team led by the University of Münster has discovered new evidence of a layered structure in the Earth’s inner core ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications offers new insights into Earth’s inner core, potentially solving ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...
