Geochemists at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have discovered a new mineral on the surface of the Earth. There’s just one catch: it shouldn’t be here.

Scientists have discovered a new mineral on the surface of the Earth. There’s just one catch: it shouldn’t be here.

Researchers say they've recovered a mineral from deep inside the Earth — one they thought would never see the light of day.

Scientists have discovered a mineral that has never been encountered in nature, trapped in the dark inclusions of this diamond.

Scientists never thought such a mineral could be found at the planet's surface.

Physicist asserted scientific malfeasance in prominent result, but his paper itself is under fire.

New mineral from Earth’s lower mantle surfaced as diamond inclusion.

Geochemists from UNLV have discovered a new mineral on Earth's surface that's believed to have originated 410 miles deep within the planet's lower mantle.

What looked like imperfections turned out to be a natural sample of davemaoite, a mineral that can’t hold its structure outside the high pressure of Earth’s lower mantle.

Davemaoite hitched a ride inside a diamond, traveling all the way up from the planet's lower mantle.

Scientists previously synthesized the mineral in a lab using immense amounts of pressure, but they were surprised to find it in nature.

Earthquakes can register at varying depths below the Earth's surface, which is nothing new, but scientists were shocked when they recently discovered just how deep one particular tremor in 2015 was.
