Geoneutrinos Offer New Map of Earth's Interior

Scientists are using geoneutrinos—elusive subatomic particles produced by radioactive decay inside the Earth—to build a new map of the planet's deep, volatile interior. The particles, detected by specialized observatories, offer a rare direct window into the composition and heat-producing elements of the mantle and core. Researchers say the findings could reshape understanding of Earth's internal heat flow and geological activity.
Why now: A new Wired report on geoneutrino research is drawing attention for revealing how these particles are transforming scientists' view of Earth's interior.
