Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

A 2024 study, for example, found that the rotation of Earth's core had slowed down. This new study "introduces a new perspective — non-rotational changes — adding another dimension to the ...

Since the 1990s, models and seismic measurements have indicated that Earth’s iron-nickel inner core moves at its own pace. Over decades, the rotation of the inner core speeds up and slows down ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

Therefore, any changes within Earth's core could substantially ... follows on the heels of research showing the inner core has "paused" its rotation, and may be in the process of changing its ...

Recent seismic data from 121 earthquakes recorded over three decades challenges previous beliefs about Earth's inner ... observed while studying the core's slowing rotation, could of ...

The study, which appeared in the journal Nature Geoscience, actually began by seeking an explanation for why the inner core could have temporarily slowed to a crawl behind Earth's rotation pace ...

"Flow in the outer core drives the geodynamo that sustains the magnetic field. This flow is aligned with the Earth's rotation axis and influenced by how the heat is extracted from the core ...
