SANTA CRUZ, CA–For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps ...

Established as a provider of novel heating mantles for industrial and laboratory glassware Glas-Col offers a solution to the long-standing challenges faced by a variety of heating systems. Glas-Col’s ...

The key to understanding Earth's evolution, including our atmosphere and how volcanoes and earthquakes form, is to look into the lower mantle, a region some 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface.

Researchers have for the first time experimentally mimicked the pressure conditions of Earths' deep mantle to measure thermal conductivity using a new measurement technique on the mantle material ...

Heat transport in deep Earth controls its thermal evolution. Determination of the thermal conductivity of the lower mantle is one of the central issues for a better understanding of deep Earth ...

Some of the world’s volcanic hot spots may be fueled by molten material that originates surprisingly close to Earth’s surface. While some of the hottest spots are fueled by plumes of buoyant material ...
