Thanks to a new study proves that Earth's inner core since 2010 has been rotating more slowly than usual. This intriguing ...

University of Southern California scientists have proven that the Earth's inner core is backtracking—slowing down—in relation to the planet's surface, as shown in new research published in Nature.

Earth's composition is more complicated than we think and is changing continuously every day. The inner part of the planet can be divided into three different layers: crust, mantle, and core.

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 ...

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 ...

A single rotation of our planet takes 24 hours ... which matches observations by astronomers and satellites. Earth’s inner core has been slowing down for 14 years. It comes just weeks after ...

Seismic waves travel through the Earth's inner core faster between the north and ... which are themselves anisotropic -- parallel with Earth's rotation axis.

Earth’s inner core is a hot, solid ball—about 20% of Earth’s radius ... and currents induce a magnetic field, convection and rotation produce our planet’s magnetic fields. But these models typically ...
