We can’t get samples from either of them, so these conclusions are based on models of the way convection drives circulation within the mantle. The team thinks the fact the two LLVPs are on almost ...

The presence of large, ancient features suggests the mantle is not fully churning everything into a uniform mixture. Slower convection in these deep sections challenges assumptions found in standard ...

The mantle transition zone (MTZ), which occurs 410–670 kilometers below Earth's surface, may store several oceans' worth of water. This water, which is carried to such depths by subducting tectonic ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Bryce Mitchell has once again baffled the internet with his assertions about the Earth being flat. Many people mocked Mitchell for his outrageous explanation. Mitchell is well-known for his ...
