Currently, the rotation between the inner and outer cores is becoming less distinct. When researchers say “reverse,” they mean the inner core is rotating slightly slower than the outer core, Brown ...

Geophysicists studying seismic waves from earthquakes have found evidence suggesting that Earth's inner core not only rotates differently but also changes shape. Analysis of earthquake waveforms ...

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, ...

New Delhi, India: New research suggests that Earth's solid inner core, a metal sphere deep inside the planet, could be experiencing significant changes in its rotation and surface structure.

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding ...

Electrically charged, liquid iron flows around the solid inner core driven by Earth’s rotation and convection currents. These movements produce electric currents, which, in turn, generate the ...

Study reveals Earth’s inner core rotation may have slowed significantly. Seismic data suggests surface deformation in the inner core is likely. Findings could clarify long-debated processes in Earth’s ...

Scientists have suggest both the size and speed of the Earth's core might have changed over the last 15 years – but the question remains, will how this effect the planet's surface?
