Scientists discovered a mysterious reversal in Earth’s molten core flow beneath the Pacific using satellite data from space.

New research suggests that Earth’s solid inner core might not be as rigid as once believed. Instead, it could exist in an unusual “buttery” state of matter, one that challenges long-standing ...

Scientists are working to solve a mystery of Earth’s molten outer core, which lies more than 2,000 kilometers beneath our ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through a solid iron lattice. This unusual behavior makes the core soft, matching ...

The liquid iron in Earth's outer core doesn't always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA ...

Deep beneath the Pacific near the equator, Earth’s outer core now flows east instead of west. Dynamics deeper within our planet’s core may help explain the change and what to expect in the near future ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

The Earth’s crust is constantly rewritten by volcanoes, erosion, and plate tectonics. New crust is being created while old one is being destroyed all the time. In that sense, the center of Earth is ...

Earth's core contains up to 45 times more hydrogen than the oceans do, making it the largest hydrogen reservoir on the planet, a new study suggests. Researchers found that this vast amount of hydrogen ...
