Far below our feet, a giant may have started moving against us. Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball the size of Pluto, has stopped spinning in the same direction as the rest of the planet and might ...

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 ...

Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other planets in our solar system—such as Mars—are constantly bombarded by charged ...

New simulations reveal a hidden “ocean of fire” that once existed above Earth’s core, influencing the planet’s internal landscape. These ancient molten seas, known as the basal magma ocean, were a ...

The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. It harbors immense biodiversity and plays a crucial role in the global climate system by storing vast amounts of carbon in its vegetation. The Amazon is ...

Two enormous, supercontinent-sized 'islands' buried deep within the mantle have been revealed to have fundamental differences—contrary to previous assumptions—and they may even lead to Earth's ...

Aechelon Technology has unveiled Project Orbion, an ambitious initiative aimed at building a live, real-time Digital Twin of ...

Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe evidence that traces of precious metals from Earth’s metallic core, ...

The technology giant Google has released an artificial intelligence (AI) model that acts as a ‘virtual satellite’ to weave together trillions of disparate observations — satellite images, radar and ...
