Two enormous and enigmatic masses of hot rock near the planet's core may play a crucial role in generating the Earth's ...

Measurements of seismic waves over many years suggest the Earth's core is deformed and reshaped by conditions of extreme heat ...

Precious metals may be escaping from the planet’s core. This hotly debated subject could help us understand Earth’s evolution and determine whether life exists elsewhere in the Universe ...

Exploring Earth's deep interior is a far bigger challenge than exploring the solar system. While we have traveled 25 billion ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists revealed this week that Mars’ innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth’s. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic ...

An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. Read the paper: Seismic detection of a ...

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

The Chinese-led research team based its findings on seismic readings from NASA's InSight lander on Mars, which recorded more than 1,300 marsquakes before shutting down in 2022. The spacecraft landed ...

Earth's solid inner core has begun to slow its rotation relative to the surface, a shift detected through seismic data. This ...
