UKSA Mars Science Fellow, Department of Physics, University of Oxford Scientists have discovered that Mars has an interior structure similar to Earth’s. Results from Nasa’s Insight mission suggest ...

An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. Read the paper: Seismic detection of a ...

Scientists revealed Wednesday that Mars' innermost core appears to be a solid hunk of metal just like Earth's. The Chinese-led research team based their findings on seismic readings from NASA's ...

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. However, ...

The inner core of the Earth, which is found about 3,000 miles (4,828 kilometers) under the surface, sits within a molten outer core, and is anchored by gravity. Once commonly thought of as a solid ...

LOS ANGELES — USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth’s enigmatic inner core, revealing for the first time that this 1,500-mile-wide ball of iron and nickel ...

Deep at the center of the Earth, our planet’s inner core is spinning, growing and—according to new research—shape-shifting. A new study published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence ...

The surface of the Earth’s inner core may be changing, as shown by a new study from USC scientists that detected structural changes near the planet’s center, published Monday in Nature Geoscience. The ...
