Scientists have discovered yet another layer deep inside the core of the Earth, a new study suggests. "Traditionally we've been taught the Earth has four main layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer ...

Scientists have long wondered what lies at the very center of the Earth, and the latest research is putting weight behind a theory that our planet has a distinct ball of iron within its metallic core.
