American scientists were shocked to discover an unknown, strange, ancient structure surrounding the Earth's iron core.
This finding addresses the debate that has been going on for decades: Does the core and the underlying coating exchange any material with the surface of the Earth?
To shed light on this incredible history, scientists have used a variety of different techniques to identify many related components.
