Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s happening at the heart of the planet — which was long thought to ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges Sara Hashemi Daily Correspondent Deep at the ...

USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel is changing ...

The inner core of the Earth, which is found about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) under the surface, sits within a molten outer core, and is anchored by gravity. Once commonly thought of as a ...

Earth’s core is pretty dynamic. Its spin speeds up and slows down based on how its two primary layers are behaving. As we improve the waveform techniques used to study the deepest layer ...

The inner core of Earth may have changed shape in the past 20 years, according to a group of scientists. The inner core is usually thought to be shaped like a ball, but its edges may actually ...

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 ...

Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research ... [+] shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing ...
