Researchers at Göttingen University have uncovered new evidence that some of Earth’s most precious metals began their journey far deeper than once thought. Working with volcanic rocks from ocean ...

Deep beneath our feet, far below the crust and mantle, Earth’s metallic heart is not as sealed off as geologists once assumed ...

The deep-water cycle in the mantle enhances chemical reactions between mantle minerals and the metallic core, contributing to seismic anomalies observed at the core ...

Washington, DC-- Plumes of hot rock surging upward from the Earth's mantle at volcanic hotspots contain evidence that the Earth's formative years may have been even more chaotic than previously ...

Front Matter -- Thermal Structure of Deep Earth. Melting of Fe Alloys and the Thermal Structure of the Core / Rebecca A Fischer -- Temperature of the Lower Mantle and Core Based on Ab Initio Mineral ...

Two geoscientists, one with Princeton University, the other with Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, have developed a theory to explain how helium-3 leaks from the Earth's core into the mantle. In ...

This release is available in French. The Earth's mantle and its core mix at a distance of 2900 km under our feet in a mysterious zone. A team of geophysicists has just verified that the partial fusion ...

Roughly 1,800 miles below Earth's surface, at the boundary between our planet's mantle and molten iron outer core, lurk strange, giant structures. So what are they? Doyeon Kim, a post-doctoral student ...

New research lends credence to an unorthodox retelling of the story of early Earth first proposed by a geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. In a study appearing March ...

Scientists discover that a potential 'diamond factory' may have existed at Earth's core-mantle boundary for billions of years. Steel rusts by water and air on the Earth's surface. But what about deep ...
