science A deep-learning classifier detected 174,929 faint signals across 35 years of seismic data from over two million waveforms. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences made this discovery near Earth's core-mantle boundary. The findings, published in late August 2026, identified six previously undocumented scattering zones labeled B1 through B6. These zones suggest significant temperature and composition differences deep within the Earth's interior. Future work will use this PKP precursor catalogue to refine mantle models and potentially apply methods to other planets. 🌎
