Deep inside Earth, researchers see signs that the solid inner core may be arranged in multiple chemical layers far below.

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications offers new insights into Earth’s inner core, potentially solving ...

New research reveals that Earth’s solid inner core is actually in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow freely through ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core may exist in a superionic state, where carbon atoms flow like liquid through solid iron. This could explain the core’s softness and reveal a new ...

About 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) below our feet, two enormous patches of strange rock sit above Earth’s core. New computer models now tie these deep structures to slow chemical leaks between the ...

Beneath Earth s surface, nearly 3,000 kilometers down, lies a mysterious layer where seismic waves speed up inexplicably. For decades, scientists puzzled over this D' layer. Now, groundbreaking ...

A Rutgers researcher and collaborators have linked unusual geological anomalies to Earth’s molten origins and its unique habitability. For many years, researchers have struggled to understand two ...

One of the strangest mysteries about our Earth is the presence of two dense, giant blobs inexplicably clustered above the planet's core.

A study by researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and University College London has identified a new constraint on the chemistry of Earth's core, by showing how it was able to ...

Earth is the only home humanity has ever known, yet most people are unaware of the incredible mysteries, extremes, and scientific wonders that make our planet unique. From hidden geological features ...

Deep beneath your feet, far beyond where any drill can reach, something strange is hiding. Two continent-sized blobs of rock ...

An international research team may have found an explanation for seismic anomalies, the noticeable deviations in the behavior of earthquake waves, in Earth's inner core.
