A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

The surprise discovery of earth’s core composition may debunk previous assumptions on the solidity of the planet.

The planet’s inner core was previously thought of as a hard, solid sphere. But a new study has found that its edges are ...

But now, a team led by Rodney Ruoff at the Institute for Basic Science in Ulsan, South Korea, has shattered this paradigm, ...

Earth's inner core has changed shape over the past 20 years. A team of scientists studied the core's behavior to understand why its rotation slowed down ...

The outer layer is made of liquid iron-nickel and is responsible for producing Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic field and the liquid outer core are further stabilized by the more solid inner ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth ...

Chinese scientists have achieved high-temperature superconductivity in nickel oxide materials under ambient pressure ...

But a new study has found that its edges are softer than realized and actually changing shape as they press against the liquid iron and nickel in Earth’s outer core. “The molten outer core is ...
