It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied scientists for generations. It sits over 3,000 miles below the surface, smaller ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

Buried more than 3,000 miles beneath our feet, Earth’s solid inner core was once thought to be unchanging—locked in place at ...

Scientists have confirmed that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density similar to iron. The core's structure mirrors that of Earth's, with a fluid outer ... Moon's magnetic field thanks ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an instability of our planet's magnetic field. The two odd formations – one ...

Earth’s magnetic field is created by the motion of the molten metal outer core. This massive magnetic ... This animated Gif represents the Van Allen belts that deflect and absorb high energy ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...

not only with different inner and outer radii, but also with variable numbers and widths of petals. This flower-shaped geometry causes the field lines of an external magnetic field to concentrate ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

According to a recent study, the Earth's inner core, that is a solid ball of iron and nickel, is slowing down in relation to the planet's surface. The same was confirmed by USC scientists ...
