The blobs lie at the base of Earth’s mantle, around 1,802 miles beneath Africa and the Pacific.

Deep inside Earth, two massive hot rock structures have been quietly shaping the planet’s magnetic field for millions of ...

Hidden mega-structures deep inside Earth may have been quietly steering our planet’s magnetic field—and rewriting what we ...

One of the strangest mysteries about our Earth is the presence of two dense, giant blobs inexplicably clustered above the planet's core. "These are not random oddities," says geodynamicist Yoshinori ...

This superionic state of matter would neatly explain some unusual behavior in the core, such as the way it slows certain waves, and measurements that suggest it's squishy like butter rather than rigid ...

For decades, scientists have been baffled by two enormous, enigmatic structures buried deep inside Earth with features so vast and unusual that they defy conventional models of planetary evolution.

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...
