Deep inside Earth, researchers see signs that the solid inner core may be arranged in multiple chemical layers far below.

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications offers new insights into Earth’s inner core, potentially solving ...

Scientists have identified two massive thermochemical formations at Earth's core-mantle boundary that refine understanding of ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New computer models now tie these deep structures to slow chemical leaks between the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The rotation of Earth's inner core began to slow down more than a decade ago, altering the length of our days by fractions of a second. Researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...
