Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found.

USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth's enigmatic inner core, revealing for the ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California say they’ve unraveled the mystery of why Earth’s inner core has been ...

Now, researchers have found the first evidence of changes taking place over the past 20 years in the shape of the inner core. Signs of the core’s deformation appeared in waves from earthquakes ...

Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core.

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 ...

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer ...

In the new study, Vidale and his team attempted to investigate changes to seismic waves as the Earth's core rotated at different speeds. "Recent work confirmed that the inner core rotated faster ...

However, one particular dataset on seismic waves revealed to study co-author and University of Southern California seismologist John Vidale that the inner core is not quite as solid as we thought.
