Scientists have discovered a hidden force deep inside Earth that is changing the length of our days.

Tiny changes in Earth’s rotation may reveal a tug-of-war between its deformable inner core, liquid outer core and deep mantle.

Scientists may have solved why the length of Earth’s day changes by a few milliseconds over decades. Subtle shifts in the ...

Earth's rotation experiences slight variations in day length due to interactions within its inner core and mantle. Researchers have developed a model revealing how gravitational forces drive these ...

Earth's days are not exactly the same length. Scientists have been recording small variations in for decades. These changes are minuscule—sometimes just a few milliseconds—and mostly imperceptible, ...

Earth cross section showing the classic distinction between crust, mantle and core. But new research shows Earth's structure is far more complicated and may change over time. Analyzing an unusual ...

Scientists recently discovered that Earth’s inner core reversed the direction in which it spins. Now, they’re discovering Earth’s inner core is changing shape, twisting, and deforming, in ways ...

A battle of forces, driven by the motion of Earth’s core, can explain small variations in the planet’s rotation, study finds.

The climate crisis has gone so far that it's altering the shape and spin of our planet, and changing our experience of time itself, according to a new study published in the journal Nature on ...

The world is striving to reach net-zero emissions as we try to ward off dangerous global warming. But will getting to net-zero actually avert climate instability, as many assume? Our new study ...
