An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior ...

Scientists have identified two massive thermochemical formations at Earth's core-mantle boundary that refine understanding of ...

Chinese researchers have discovered that interstitial carbon in iron-carbon alloys behaves in a superionic, liquid-like state ...

Front Matter -- Thermal Structure of Deep Earth. Melting of Fe Alloys and the Thermal Structure of the Core / Rebecca A Fischer -- Temperature of the Lower Mantle and Core Based on Ab Initio Mineral ...

Earth’s inner core has both changed its relative rotation rate and deformed in the past few decades, according to an analysis of seismic waves recorded when the inner core occupied the same relative ...

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, ...

Many impacts of our consistently warming planet are becoming known, whether through news headlines or from firsthand experiences. One impact we might not be able to feel, but should be aware of, is ...

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...
