Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the ...

Earth's inner core may have changed shape, according to researchers studying unknown transformations deep within the planet.

Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it.

The most powerful solar storm to impact Earth in decades caused the temporary formation of radiation belts around Earth, NASA recently announced. A NASA CubeSat satellite made the discovery, which ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." ...

In May 2024, an epic solar storm rattled Earth so powerfully that its effects were felt even at the bottom of the ocean.

A collaboration between Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, hosted by Stockholm University, KTH and Google Quantum AI explores how gravitational fields influence quantum computing ...

The "audio represents the magnetic field generated by Earth's core and a solar storm," according to the European Space Agency (ESA). Credit: Space.com | animations and audio courtesy ESA/Planetary ...

NASA has announced that a large asteroid, estimated to be larger than a football field, is travelling towards Earth at high speed. Calculations indicate a higher-than-average chance of the asteroid ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement ... They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...
