A recent article on probing Earth's interior mentioned the potential use of a "fifth force", long range electron spin-spin interactions, as a tool in the endeavor. Has anybody published any experimental results confirming detection of this "force'? Is existence of long range spin-spin interaction compatible with current quantum mechanics theory?

I found this Many particle-physics models that extend the standard model predict the existence of long-range spin-spin interactions. We propose an approach that uses the Earth as a polarized spin source to investigate these interactions. Using recent deep-Earth geophysics and geochemistry results, we create a comprehensive map of electron polarization within the Earth induced by the geomagnetic field. We examine possible long-range interactions between these spin-polarized geoelectrons and the spin-polarized electrons and nucleons in three laboratory experiments. By combining our model and the results from these experiments, we establish bounds on torsion gravity and possible long-range spin-spin forces associated with the virtual exchange of either spin-one axial bosons or unparticles.
