Magnetic Magma earth
Super-Earths are rocky exoplanets more than three times the size of our planet, with far greater internal pressures and temperatures. For years, scientists assumed that if these worlds had magnetic fields, they would form the same way Earth’s does — through movement in a molten iron core. However, new laboratory experiments suggest something very different may be happening deep inside these massive planets. Under extreme pressure, certain molten rocks become electrically conductive. When these materials churn and circulate between the core and the mantle, they can generate magnetic fields on their own. This means a super-Earth might not rely solely on its core for protection. Instead, a thick, dynamic layer of magma could act as a natural magnetic shield, powered by internal heat and motion.

Disappeared Bodies, Mass Burials and ‘30,000 Dead’. AI-Generated.
For years, reports emerging from Iran have painted a grim and often confusing picture of death tolls tied to political unrest, state violence, pandemics, and human rights abuses. Allegations of disappeared bodies, mass burials, and claims of “30,000 dead” have circulated widely among activists, exiled communities, and international media. Yet, inside Iran, official figures often tell a very different story.
