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 ...

Almost a decade after NASA’s InSight mission put the first working seismometer on the Martian surface, researchers are still combing through its records of faint ground vibrations to reveal secrets of ...

Alfred Wilson-Spencer receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants NE/T000228/1 and NE/V010867/1. He works for the University of Leeds. The iron-rich core at the centre ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...

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 ...

Mars may have a hardened heart. Marsquake reverberations detected by NASA’s InSight lander revealed that the Red Planet probably possesses a solid inner core, researchers report in the Sept. 4 Nature.

Scientists have discovered that Mars has an interior structure similar to Earth's. Results from NASA's InSight mission suggest that the red planet has a solid inner core surrounded by a liquid outer ...

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 ...

The partitioning of light elements between liquid and solid at the inner core boundary (ICB) governs compositional difference and density deficit between the outer and inner core. Observations of high ...
