Frequently asked questions about this event
How is this event resolved?
Resolve como 'Sim' se ao menos um artigo independente do estudo original, publicado em periódico científico indexado (ex.: Nature, Science, Physical Review Letters), confirmar experimentalmente o estado superiônico do ferro-hidreto (ou ferro com elementos leves) sob condições do núcleo interno da Terra até 28/02/2027. Caso contrário, resolve como 'Não'.
