The heart of our planet has been spinning unusually slowly for the past 14 years, new research confirms. And if this mysterious trend continues, it could potentially lengthen Earth's days — though the ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are directly influencing our planet's magnetic field in ways we're only beginning ...

A wealth of new information about Earth’s inner core has surfaced in recent months. Scientists now have evidence that the planet’s innermost layer is changing shape. Scientists who just months ago ...

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, ...

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

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 ...

“It’s probably benign, but we don’t want to have things we don’t understand deep in the Earth.” Now, a recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience reveals a curious new detail ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...

The Chinese-led research team based its findings on seismic readings from NASA's InSight lander on Mars, which recorded more than 1,300 marsquakes before shutting down in 2022. The spacecraft landed ...

(CNN) — 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 ...
