This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.

Though we might not be able to notice up on the Earth’s crust, changes in the Earth’s core can impact the rotation of the entire planet and the geomagnetic plane that triggers a compass to ...

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 ...

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions ...

Earth's mysterious core is yet again generating headlines as scientists learn more about what lies way beneath our feet. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored ...

and may lead to better understanding of how Earth’s core generates its magnetic field. The study, "Annual-scale variability in both the rotation rate and near surface of Earth’s inner core ...

As we learn more about the hidden dynamics in the inner core of the Earth, we may also learn more about the thermal and magnetic fields of the planet.

This discovery provides new insights into the inner core’s dynamics and its impact on Earth's magnetic field. The Earth is in a constant state of flux, and changes are constant on its surface ...

Earth's core is thought to be a solid sphere spinning independently from the liquid outer core and the rest of the planet. This rotation generates the magnetic field that protects Earth from solar ...

The movement of tectonic plates, climate shifts, and the drifting of the magnetic poles all play a part in the planet's ongoing evolution. A recent study has proposed that Earth's inner core too ...
