There may be hidden layers to Earth’s core dictated by chemical composition. In A Nutshell Lab experiments suggest Earth’s ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

Seismic waves passing through Earth's inner core have revealed much about our planet's iron center: how it's changing shape, ...

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, ...

The solid inner core at the center of the Earth, surrounded by the outer core, mantle and crust. Here’s why: While it is well known that a material must be at or below its freezing temperature to be ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

Earth's core cannot be made just of iron — it also appears to contain carbon. And our research suggests it may contain a bit of oxygen and possibly silicon as well. When you purchase through links on ...

With modern seismic tomography, Earth scientists have discovered that above Earth's core-mantle boundary (CMB), about 2,900 ...
