A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than ...

A gold reservoir is hidden in Earth's core and it's leaking into the mantle, says new study A new study claims that Earth is ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

The mantle rocks in the region where we retrieved the drill core are linked to a zone called the Lost City hydrothermal field, which lies about 800 meters south of the drill site.

Over a thousand miles from the surface, in Earth’s D” layer—right on the edge of the liquid metal outer core—there is a weird ...

A phase change in post-perovskite materials at the so-called D” discontinuity is also evidence for long-predicted slow, convective flows in the mantle itself ...

The mantle core comes from an area of seafloor rich in hydrothermal vents known as the Lost City. Seawater seeps down into the mantle and heats up. As the seawater hits the minerals, ...

While it's unlikely the deep-buried treasure chest will ever be cracked open, scientists call the discovery significant.

Scientists have uncovered evidence that precious metals like gold are leaking from Earth’s core into the mantle, ultimately ...

An analysis of Hawaii’s volcanic rocks revealed Earth’s core is leaking gold and other precious metals, a study found. The elements emerge when ocean islands form.

The diamond, which is not as dense as metal, would have floated to the top of Mercury’s core before resting between the core and mantle creating a 0.62 mile diamond layer that continued to grow ...

The core retrieved nearby has a length of 1,268 meters, or some four-fifths of a mile, ... The mantle breakthrough was part of the International Ocean Discovery Program, ...
