Hey CERN, think you've got a big particle detector? Try using the entire Earth to hunt for a new fundamental force of nature.

So say Larry Hunter of Amherst College in Massachusetts, and colleagues. They have created a map of the spins of electrons deep within the Earth's mantle, which could be used to reveal the as-yet-unseen force as well as the strange particles – known as "unparticles" – that might carry it.

Such an experiment could also yield new insights into the planet's lower mantle, hundreds of kilometres below the surface.
