A hotshot crew of scientists burrows down through Earth's layers to jump-start the core with a nuclear bomb. In the real world, no human could survive the unimaginable heat and bone-crushing ...

This appears to be the case, to a rather stunning extent, in the instance of the reporting this week around new findings that researchers say shows the rotation of Earth’s inner core is slowing ...

The Earth’s core is leaking. At least, that seems to be the consensus of researchers behind a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. The researchers say that ancient lava flows ...

The Earth's mysterious core is crucial to every part of life on our planet. This furnace of molten metal, which lies about 1,800 miles beneath our feet, keeps our atmosphere intact and protects us ...

A new video shows how Earth's magnetic field weakened and warped before temporarily flipping during a recent "polar reversal ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is why we are here today. It protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and many other ...

Earth’s inner core is a hot, solid ball—about 20% of Earth’s radius—made of an iron alloy. The planet’s outer core, beneath the rocky mantle, is a colder, liquid metal. Geophysics models explain that, ...

solid ball at the center of our planet has been reducing its speed for years as part of an oscillating cycle Rudy Molinek A new study suggests more solar radiation reached Earth while the magnetic ...

A University of Minnesota professor said the Earth’s inner core hasn’t stopped but has slowed down in response to a CNN article published Jan. 26 titled “Earth’s Core May Have Stopped Turning and ...

The impact would be so massive it would rip the very core of the moons ... halfway between Earth and our original moon, it yanks violently at the oceans. In the real world, this is how our ...

We have been adding “leap seconds” to time kept by our atomic clocks, but soon we may have to subtract one. Are the tiny adjustments worth the bother?
