Maohokite: Newly Discovered High-Pressure Mantle Mineral

Researchers for a long time believed that the lower mantle was made up of bridgmanite (Mg, Fe)SiO3 and magnesiowüstite (Mg, Fe)O, in which Fe2+ resides. This view was revised when experiments proved that Fe2+ simply cannot exist at the temperature and pressure of the lower mantle.
