Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

When trying to identify the nature of dark matter, sometimes it’s the things it doesn’t do that tell us the most, like ...

The record-breaking mission offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the geology of our planet’s largest layer.

The weak spot, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, was identified in the 19th century and expanded in recent years.

Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have ...

New satellite data show Earth’s magnetic field changing fast, with a growing weak spot over the South Atlantic.

While most of us take the ground beneath our feet for granted, written within its complex layers, like the pages of a book, is Earth's history. Our history. Research shows there are little-known ...

A giant dent in Earth's magnetic field is continuing to expand, according to the latest data from a trio of satellites ...

We know the temperature of Earth ’s inner core is very roughly about 5,000 Kelvin (K) (4,727°C). It was once liquid, but has cooled and become solid over time, expanding outwards in the process. As it ...

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

What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

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 ...
