Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

A major scientific breakthrough has settled a decades-old debate about the moon’s interior. Researchers have confirmed that ...

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

Earth's mysterious core is yet again generating headlines as scientists learn more about what lies way beneath our feet. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth’s surface, the inner core is anchored ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

Previous research has found that the rotation of the inner core is slowing down relative to the rotation of the external crust, which may cause minute changes in Earth’s rotation and subtly affect the ...

For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet that sits some 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) below the surface.

Earth's core has been a growing topic of interest. It is responsible for the planet's magnetic field, which protects life from the sun's radiation. Despite its importance, there is still much that ...

Sumitomo Electric has expanded its lineup of powder magnetic cores for motors and has added new material data to the ...

Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are central in the landscape of extreme phenomena such as hypernovae, fast ...

But it also opens new questions about how changes in the core could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field and more. “After decades of research and debates, we are coming ...
