Scientists are making progress in understanding the origins of two massive, enigmatic structures buried deep within Earth’s mantle. Decades of research have been puzzled by these colossal formations. New simulations propose that a gradual leaking of elements from Earth’s core into the mantle disrupted the planet’s ability to form distinct chemical layers after its initial magma-ocean phase. This leakage process is potentially responsible for shaping the mysterious structures and offers a compelling explanation for their existence.
