A diagram of Earth's interior with water leaking toward the core Scientists may have finally found the cause of a mysterious, crystal-forming layer that surrounds Earth's core — "leaking water" that ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, researchers now argue that matter behaves in a way that does not fit ...

A new study has revealed that water from the Earth's surface can penetrate deep into the planet, altering the composition of the outermost region of the metallic liquid core and creating a distinct, ...

Seismic waves passing through the Earth have revealed that the inner core of our planet is now rotating out-of-sync with the layers above it. Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

Deep beneath our feet, approximately 2,890 kilometers underground, lies one of Earth's most mysterious regions. The boundary ...

Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center. A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core. This ...

The historic understanding of the earth’s inner core has been called into question by a group of scientists from the Australian National University after analysing earthquake data. Seismologists from ...

“It’s probably benign, but we don’t want to have things we don’t understand deep in the Earth.” Now, a recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience reveals a curious new detail ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a theory that our planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.

There is more to the Earth than what we can see on the surface. In fact, if you were able to hold the Earth in your hand and slice it in half, you'd see that it has multiple layers. But of course, the ...
