A dramatic shift in Earth’s magnetic field occurred roughly 41,000 years ago during what scientists now call the Laschamps ...

The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth’s evolution. The core not only powers the ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

Scientists found that carbon enabled Earth’s core to solidify. Without it, the inner core may not exist. A team of scientists ...

A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new insights into its future. Earth benefits from the presence of a magnetic field ...

Earth's inner core is solid and blistering hot. For decades, scientists have known the inner core is solid thanks to the pioneering work of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann, who first proposed its ...

Earth’s core dynamics and conductivity underpin the generation and evolution of the geomagnetic field, influencing the thermal history and long‐term sustainability of the geodynamo. Studies over ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Two recent studies used seismic data from NASA's retired InSight mission to shed light on what lies beneath Mars’ surface and ...
