A groundbreaking scientific development has emerged, revolutionizing the way we produce synthetic diamonds. Researchers from ...

Where is the impactor?” The question, raised during a planetary science lecture back in 2019, struck a chord with ...

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 ...

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 ...

A section of Earth’s mantle beneath Oman appears to be unusually warm, in what researchers say may be the first known “ghost plume” – a column of hot rock emanating from the lower mantle without ...

Unlike flawless gems, fibrous diamonds often contain small saline inclusions. These give hints to scientists about the conditions under which diamonds are formed deep in the Earth's mantle. A research ...

The Greenland ice sheet is melting from below, caused by a high heat flow from the mantle into the lithosphere. This influence is very variable spatially and has its origin in an exceptionally thin ...

The formation of the Earth’s first supercontinent could explain the mysterious absence of rocks known as cold eclogites from the geological record between 1.8 and 1.2 billion years ago. Cold eclogites ...
