Geoneutrinos Offer a New Map of Earth's Interior

Scientists are using geoneutrinos—elusive particles produced by radioactive decay inside the Earth—to build a new picture of the planet's deep, volatile interior. Wired reports the particles offer a rare direct probe of heat-producing elements in the mantle and core, helping researchers map what lies far beneath the surface. The work could refine understanding of Earth's internal heat and geological activity.
Why now: A Wired feature on a novel scientific method for probing Earth's interior has drawn attention in science discussions.
