Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

There are trillions of charged particles—protons and electrons, the basic building blocks of matter—whizzing around above ...

In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually ...

This transformation is believed to be occurring at the boundary where the solid inner core meets the scorching hot liquid ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

The creation of the belts, and others like it in the future, are a potential new danger to astronauts and satellites headed ...

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

While direct observation of the core is impossible ... inner core growth plays a crucial role in generating Earth’s magnetic field, which protects us from harmful solar radiation,” Miyazaki ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Earth’s inner core is shifting, slowing, and reshaping. Scientists study its impact on magnetic fields, pole movement, and ...

The models take in observations from satellites that continuously measure Earth’s magnetic field, as well as from ground observatories worldwide. Using the models, Beggan said, scientists can ...
