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

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

Deep beneath the surface of our planet lies the Earth’s core, a solid ball of iron under crushing pressure. Now, however, scientists conducting laboratory experiments have found evidence suggesting it ...

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

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

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
