Geoneutrinos Help Map Earth's Hidden Interior
Original: Elusive 'Geoneutrinos' Are Building a New Map of Earth's Volatile Interior https://www.wired.com/story/elusive-geoneutri
Scientists are using geoneutrinos—nearly undetectable particles produced by radioactive decay inside the Earth—to build a new picture of the planet's deep interior. Wired reports that detections from underground observatories are helping researchers estimate how much heat-generating uranium and thorium sits in the mantle and core, shedding light on Earth's internal heat budget and the dynamics driving volcanism and plate tectonics.
Why now: A new report on how geoneutrino detections are advancing the study of Earth's deep interior is drawing attention.
