A new study published in Science Advances by researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIG-CAS), along with international collaborators, reveals that ...

South African diamonds have revealed nickel-rich metallic inclusions, offering the first direct evidence of reactions predicted to occur deep in Earth’s mantle. The study shows how oxidized melts ...

The boundary zone between the mantle, the planet's rocky middle layer, and the molten metal core might be a diamond-producing region! According to a recent laboratory experiment, the elements such as ...

Scientists discover that a potential 'diamond factory' may have existed at Earth's core-mantle boundary for billions of years. Steel rusts by water and air on the Earth's surface. But what about deep ...

When steel reacts with water at the Earth’s surface, it rusts. But what happens deep inside the Earth’s interior? Scientists working at the Advanced Photon Source sought to find out. Located at the ...

Experiments conducted at the Advanced Photon Source recreated conditions at Earth’s core-mantle boundary, which led to a dazzling discovery. When steel reacts with water at the Earth’s surface, it ...
