Researchers Detect Quantum Phase Transition Deep Within the Earth's Lower Mantle

The interior of the Earth is a mystery, especially at greater depths (> 660 km). Researchers only have seismic tomographic images of this region and, to interpret them, they need to calculate seismic (acoustic) velocities in minerals at high pressures and temperatures.
