The surface of the Earth's inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study by USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet's center, published in Nature Geoscience. The changes ...

The inner core was discovered in 1936, and its size (about 20% of Earth's radius) is one of the best-constrained properties of the deep Earth. We use this information to estimate the core's ...

Scientists have uncovered new signs of a mysterious structure buried deep inside Earth’s inner core, pointing to the possibility of a fifth distinct layer within the planet. The discovery, detailed in ...

A new study adds evidence to the idea that Earth's inner core is slowing its spin, though still rotating in the same direction as the planet. KATERYNA KON / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY via Getty Images The ...

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 an unusual ...

The new study provides unambiguous evidence that the inner core began to decrease its speed around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's surface. USC scientists have proven that the Earth's inner core ...

Earth’s core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core. The inner core is formed and ...
