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

Outer core The outer core is the layer surrounding the inner core. It is made of liquid iron. Mantle The mantle is the layer of the Earth which makes up 84% of its volume. It is also the thickest ...

The next layer is the mantle, which makes up most of Earth's volume and is composed of dense, semi-solid rock. Then there is the outer core, made of liquid metal, and the inner core, a solid ball ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an ...

An international team led by researchers in Japan and Europe has discovered a new multi-planet system around a Sun-like star, ...

Scientists confirm the Moon has a solid iron core, like Earth’s, with a molten outer layer. This discovery reshapes our ...

Earth's layers: Exploring our planet inside and out — Earth's core wobbles every 8.5 years, new study suggests — Earth's solid inner core is 'surprisingly soft' thanks to hyperactive atoms ...

The Earth's internal layers including the mantle, outer core and inner core. New research shows the inner core undergoes structural transformation likely caused by outer core disturbance.

A groundbreaking study reveals that the Moon has a solid inner core with a density comparable to iron, reshaping our ...
