The research focused on waves triggered by earthquakes of 5.7 and above magnitude. Scientists measured the waves by placing 20 seismic meters in different parts of the world to measure earthquake waves and monitor nuclear weapons tests.<\/p>\n

The dataset showed 2,455 such earthquakes were measured. \u201cA long time ago, the inner core grew really fast,\u201d said Keith Koper, a seismologist from the University of Utah.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reached an equilibrium, and then it started to grow much more slowly. Not all of the iron became solid, so some liquid iron could be trapped inside,\u201d Koper added. The research also showed that the core\u2019s composition was \u201cinhomogeneous\u201d or varied.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, we confirmed that this kind of inhomogeneity is everywhere inside the inner core,\u201d said GuanningPang, who conducted the research as a doctoral student at the University of Utah.<\/p>\n
