The surface of the Earth's inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study by USC scientists that detected structural ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.

Now, scientists believe that Earth’s inner core might be less solid than we previously thought. The findings are detailed in a study published February 10 in the journal Nature Geoscience and ...

By Kenneth Chang The inner core at the center of the Earth, a ball of iron and nickel about 1,500 miles wide, may not be perfectly solid. A new study finds evidence that the inner core’s outer ...

Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere. A new study indicates that the near surface of the inner core may undergo viscous deformation, changing its shape and shifting at ...

Their research led to an unexpected discovery: that inner core is not entirely solid. Scientists from the University of Southern California (USC) analyzed data from earthquakes and identified ...

Until now the inner core was widely thought of as a solid sphere. The original aim of the USC scientists was to further chart the slowing of the inner core. “But as I was analyzing multiple ...

Previous seismic studies revealed that the inner core is solid metal and rotates within a super-hot molten outer core, also mostly made of metal, including iron and nickel. Researchers have ...

Bosch has just completed testing its new new brake-by-wire technology on public roads. The Bosch development team traveled more than 2,050 miles (3,300 km) across several climate zones to reach ...

Solid Earth sciences encompass the study of the crust, mantle and core of the Earth and other rocky planetary bodies. Earth sciences include petrology, mineralogy, seismology, core studies ...
