Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the interest of scientists around the world. Understanding the causes and ...

Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists ...

Their findings could shed more light on the layers that make up the Earth and how they are interconnected, coauthor and ...

A key part of understanding the core is knowing its melting temperature. We know where the boundary between the solid inner core and liquid outer core is from seismology (the study of earthquakes).

It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

For over half a billion years, Earth’s magnetic field has risen and fallen in sync with oxygen levels in the atmosphere, and scientists are finally uncovering why. A NASA-led study reveals a striking ...
