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

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 core might be layered like an onion, according to a new study that looked at the anomalous nature of waved in the ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...

Earth’s inner core has both changed its relative rotation rate and deformed in the past few decades, according to an analysis of seismic waves recorded when the inner core occupied the same relative ...

Front Matter -- Thermal Structure of Deep Earth. Melting of Fe Alloys and the Thermal Structure of the Core / Rebecca A Fischer -- Temperature of the Lower Mantle and Core Based on Ab Initio Mineral ...

Many impacts of our consistently warming planet are becoming known, whether through news headlines or from firsthand experiences. One impact we might not be able to feel, but should be aware of, is ...

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 ...

Scientists have coaxed one of the universe’s most stubborn elements into a new compound. Formed under intense pressures, the newly discovered compound packs helium atoms into crystalline iron, ...
