Scientists have identified mysterious 'blobs' about 1,200 miles under the Earth's surface that could cause massive volcanic ...

Could the destiny of continents and even the demise of the dinosaurs have been determined by monstrous, slow-moving BLOBS hiding thousands of kilometers under our feet? For decades, geoscientists have ...

New simulations reveal a hidden “ocean of fire” that once existed above Earth’s core, influencing the planet’s internal landscape. These ancient molten seas, known as the basal magma ocean, were a ...

New simulations reveal that an ancient ocean of magma located above the Earth's core continues to shape the planet's ...

Scientists discover that large amounts of nitrogen could be hidden in the Earth's metallic core, which would solve a ...

This "virtual Earth" is the first computer model that "views" the crust and mantle as an interconnected, dynamic system, the researchers reported Oct. 30 in the journal Science Advances.

Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and ...

Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds. Known as large low-seismic-velocity provinces (LLSVPs), these blobs are both hotter and ...

Tungsten (W), a hard, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant metal, is indispensable to modern high-tech industries—from ...

Earth's mantle retains traces of a form of helium formed during the Big Bang and in the cosmic heart of stars, suggesting this material is older than the moon. Skip to main content.

Scientists use Earth's mantle to hunt for new particles, such as the unparticle, which may be tied to a new fundamental force of nature.
