In September 2023, a global seismic mystery began to unfold. Every 90 seconds, the Earth pulsed with a strange, low-frequency ...

How did India get to its present location? Could it have been somewhere else if history were different? A study has found ...

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 ...

On March 28, 2025, a major earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7 struck Mandalay, central Myanmar (referred to as ...

Subsequent computer modelling revealed a subtler effect at play. According to these models, the hardness of post-perovskite materials is not fixed. Instead, it depends on the direction of the material ...

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 acceleration of seismic waves. Experiments recreating the ...

This flow is crucial because it forces post-perovskite crystals to align in the same direction. It is this alignment of crystals that ultimately causes seismic waves to speed up in the D” layer.

On March 28, 2025, a major earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7 struck Mandalay, central Myanmar (referred to as the 2025 ...

The huge column of hot rock, known as a mantle plume or a 'ghost plume', which rises from deep inside the earth beneath ...
