HEFEI -- Chinese and international scientists have, for the first time, discovered a solid inner core, with a radius of about 600 km, inside Mars, thereby providing crucial clues to the evolutionary ...

But this survival comes at a cost later on. When trauma strikes early, the psyche cannot hold or cognize the event, and so ...

Stars may look calm and steady in the night sky, but deep inside they are constantly moving and changing. One of the most important changes is how fast they spin. From the time they are born to the ...

A stretchy, mid-level layer of nanodiamonds allows the typically hard, brittle crystal to bend, not break, under pressure.

Deep beneath our feet, Earth’s core may be far less rigid than scientists once believed. A new laboratory result suggests the planet’s innermost region can behave as both solid and subtly mobile, ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years. These ...

She pointed to evidence that the Earth’s inner core was solid — not liquid, as scientists had believed — a discovery that was ahead of its time. Inge Lehmann in 1932. She overcame discrimination in ...

The findings will help guide scientists towards a better understanding of Mars’ evolution as a planet. Credit: JPL-Caltech Seismic studies reveal Mars may have a solid inner core. The result deepens ...

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 magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, ...
