Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth's inner core—a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface.

Deep beneath our feet, at a staggering depth of over 5,100km, lies Earth’s inner core — a solid ball of iron and nickel that plays a crucial role in shaping the conditions we experience on the surface. In fact, without it we’d be unlikely to even exist.

Scientists at ANU have discovered a doughnut-shaped area in Earth's liquid outer core that could help explain mysteries about the planet's magnetic field, highlighting the need for ongoing multidisciplinary research in this area.

By tuning in to the rumble of earthquakes, scientists took an X-ray of the Earth – and discovered something extraordinary.

Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) have made a fascinating discovery deep within the Earth’s core—a doughnut-shaped region that could provide new insights into how our planet’s magnetic field works.
