Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.

A 2024 study, for example, found that the rotation of Earth's core had slowed down. This new study "introduces a new perspective — non-rotational changes — adding another dimension to the discussion," ...
