The special thing is that it was done in the study lab. Samples of Earth’s inner core cannot be taken due to very high temperature and pressure. In such a situation, the team of scientists created the pressure like the inner core of the earth in the lab itself. He wanted to know how the iron atoms behave in such a situation.
The data received by the scientists was put in the computer learning program. This helped scientists to understand how the iron atoms move inside a structure. According to NDTV report, the co-author of the study Jung Fu-Lin said that the result shows that atoms inside the inner core can move more than our thinking. Many atoms also move in the atoms group.
This speed of atoms makes the inner core of our earth less rigid. It explains why the inner core is soft. Scientists found that the center of the Earth is very soft as the inner core is very soft as it is to be kept in our kitchen.
Scientists say that solid iron becomes soft inside the earth, as its atoms grow very high. The new discovery can help to know how it helps the earth to produce magnetic fields.
