Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

Deep at the center of the Earth, our planet’s inner core is spinning, growing and—according to new research—shape-shifting. A new study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence ...

Earth’s solid inner core appears to have changed shape in the past 20 years or so, according to seismic wave measurements – but the behaviour of these waves could also be explained by other shifts at ...

The surface of Earth's inner core may be shape-shifting, new research suggests. The study, published Feb. 10 in the journal Nature, looked at earthquake waves that have skimmed the edge of the inner ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found. The discovery resolves a long-simmering controversy about what’s happening at the heart of the planet — which was long thought to be solid ...

Earth’s inner core, a solid metal ball gyrating within the molten outer core, may be both slowing down and changing shape. Recent analyses of earthquake waves have suggested that around 15 years ago, ...
