New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions about its solidity.

There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a theory that our planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

Earth's inner layers have just got a bit more complicated, with scientists discovering a whole new inner core within the center of the planet. Research released on February 21 in the journal Nature ...

They believe this is a new layer of Earth’s interior found globally. The discovery could help determine how tectonic plates move. Scientists have found Hell on Earth. Well, more accurately: Hell in ...

While this new layer is difficult to observe, its existence may point to an unknown, dramatic event in Earth's history. Investigating the structure of the inner core can help us understand more about ...

Google Earth is probably best known for its huge collection of freely available satellite and aerial photos for places all around the world. Almost everyone who has access to a computer has given it a ...

New results from NASA satellite data show that space weather—the changing conditions in space driven by the sun—can heat up Earth's hottest and highest atmospheric layer. The findings, published in ...

The Earth with the upper mantle exposed. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a previously unknown layer of partly molten rock approximately 100 miles beneath the Earth's ...
