Understanding inner core oscillations is key to grasping Earth's rotation variations and magnetic field changes, linking deep processes to surface effects.

Criticism has emerged that U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing "diplomacy without diplomats." Not only does he bypass traditional diplomatic channels on international issues, but he also handles ...

HEFEI -- Chinese and international scientists have, for the first time, discovered a solid inner core, with a radius of about 600 km, inside Mars, thereby providing crucial clues to the evolutionary ...

Far beneath our feet, in a place hotter than any furnace and under pressures that crush solid iron, Earth’s inner core is quietly shifting. The change is not something you will notice when you glance ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

But neither of these outcomes have occurred during our planet's history. Instead, scientists believe that in the past, the core could have cooled to no more than about 250 ° C below its melting point.

All the activity on Earth’s surface — erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, restless seas and myriad forms of life — depends on the two-part engine under the hood. Directly beneath Earth’s ...

Our planet’s core is made mostly of iron, but it might also contain primordial helium that formed just after the Big Bang. Helium normally has trouble bonding with other elements, but researchers were ...
