Six unusual structures identified at Earth's core-mantle boundary with the help of deep learning

Since scientists can't drill 2,900 km (1,800 miles) to the boundary between Earth's core and deep mantle, they must use information relayed by seismic waves recorded during earthquakes to study this ...
