Researchers are now trying to understand the "innermost inner core" of the Earth by studying how seismic waves travel through ...

The outer core is liquid iron and nickel and generates the Earth's magnetic field. And the inner core is made of solid iron and nickel. The surface of the earth is constantly changing. It's the ...

Together with collaborators across six universities, he created mathematical models simulating early Earth conditions when our planet’s core was forming and an ocean of molten rock covered the ...

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition to the planet's first outer shell, or "protocrust," new research ...

When a sodium-filled model of the Earth’s outer core spins at full speed, it could generate a dynamo. Courtesy Daniel P. Lathrop In a large, warehouse-like laboratory on the University of ...

The core's structure mirrors that of Earth's, with a fluid outer layer and solid inner ... understanding the Moon’s core composition may explain why its field disappeared. Given humanity ...

he created mathematical models simulating early Earth conditions when Earth's core was forming and an ocean of molten rock covered the planet's surface. The team's calculations showed the ...
