Gigantic hidden fortresses discovered 1,800 miles underground in Earth's mantle, rewrite how the planet's interior works.

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could transform our understanding of plate tectonics.

Overall, Professors Sun and Tkalčić determine that mantle convection is the primary cause of Mars's unusual dichotomy, not giant impacts as the alternative hypothesis suggests.

A search for "air fryer recipe" on most social media platforms likely returns a flood of food videos touting quick and easy meal ideas. The market touts these devices as a convenient, clean, quick way ...

New insights into the convection patterns of the Earth's mantle and its chemical makeup have been revealed. The new findings suggest that the mantle does not flow ubiquitously, as has been ...

These mineral grains are also much more rigid, making them capable of resisting the flow of Earth’s mantle, called mantle convection.

Earth's core is cooling at rates faster than previously thought, which could speed the planet's inevitable march toward inhabitability.

New research by Brown University geochemists provides new insights on the scale at which Earth's mantle varies in chemical composition. The findings could help scientists better understand the ...

A new scientific theory connects mysterious structures deep within Earth's mantle to a violent collision with the protoplanet Theia.

The granular structures in the image are convection cells, which are each about the size of the US state of Texas. Hot plasma from inside the Sun bubbles up in the bright centres of the cells. It then ...
