Low viscosity of the Earth’s inner core
The inner core of the Earth is formed of a crystalline solid which is mostly composed of iron. Here, the authors use molecular dynamics methods to show that the crystalline structure of the inner core may have a viscosity close to that of liquid iron, despite being a solid.
