Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent ...

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 ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

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 ...

A new study offers compelling evidence that Earth's inner core reversed direction and is slowing down.

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

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 ...

The inner core of the Earth, which is found about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) under the surface, sits within a molten outer core, and is anchored by gravity. Once commonly thought of as a solid ...
