Deep inside Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside a bigger top, shrouded in mystery. This inner core has intrigued ...

The wheel of time isn’t turning like it used to. Scientists have discovered that our planet’s core has been rotating at a slower rate for nearly 15 years — and it could mean longer days for some. The ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional waves generated by earthquakes travel roughly 3 to 4 percent faster along Earth ...

The core of the Earth is undergoing surprise structural changes, researchers believe. A new study has seen scientists unexpectedly find that the inner core of our planet is changing its physical ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer—like the ...

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 ...
