Elusive ‘Geoneutrinos’ Are Building a New Map of Earth’s Volatile Interior
Scientists have made significant new measurements of a type of subatomic particle called geoneutrinos. These particles are produced deep within the Earth's interior and can help researchers better understand the planet's internal structure. The measurements were collected from a global network of detectors.
Why it's good news: It brings us closer to understanding the mysterious processes that shape our planet's geological features.
