Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The continent-sized blobs are much hotter than the lower mantle, creating a significant temperature gradient in the rocky ...

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 ...
