Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks move, melt, and recycle through the mantle. Some of that water carries a ...

Researchers found a notable effect of aluminum on the sound velocities of superhydrous phase B, a dense hydrous magnesium silicate and potential host of water in the deep Earth. Their results suggest ...

Case Western Reserve University scientist part of team reversing view of how minerals behave deep below our planet’s surface; could apply to other planet studies Case Western Reserve University ...

Earth’s early history is undergoing a quiet revolution. Long assumed to be dry at its core, new research suggests our planet may have formed with a massive internal water reservoir—locked deep within ...

(a)The phase boundary between stishovite and post-stishovite with the varying Al content. The contour represents the phase boundary of stishovite with different Al content and the H/Al ratio of ~1/3.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Wenzhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has revealed that these enigmatic regions may be formed by superionic iron hydride through ...

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 drive both the ...

A recent studypublished in Naturepresents compelling evidence of ancient planetary material buried deep within Earth’s mantle. Researchers have uncovered two massive dense structures beneath Africa ...
