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

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

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 ...

Researchers have found evidence of changes in the structure of the Earth's core. University of Southern California team, led by Professor John Vidale, was investigating the inner core's rotation – a ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth's inner core, previously thought to be solid and unchanging, has experienced significant shape changes over the past 20 years. Through advanced seismic analysis, ...

New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an ...

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 ...

The inner core of Earth may have changed shape in the past 20 years, according to a group of scientists. The inner core is usually thought to be shaped like a ball, but its edges may actually have ...

The Earth is continuously changing, with constant transformations occurring both on its surface and within its core. The movement of tectonic plates, climate shifts, and the drifting of the magnetic ...

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 ...

The Earth's inner core, long considered a solid and stable sphere, may be quite different. A recent study suggests that its surface is undergoing structural transformations, challenging our ...
