IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Olivine plays a crucial role in transporting water deep into Earth’s mantle. 🔍 Recent research reveals that infrared transparency of olivine facilitates rapid heating of subducting slabs. 💧 Only oceanic plates older than 60 million years can carry water to significant depths. 📊 The study has significant implications for understanding tectonic processes and seismic activity. Recent …

Imagine falling prey to a chronic disease where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to high blood sugar levels. Now, insulin, a hormone, is crucial for allowing glucose (sugar) to enter cells for energy. When this process is disrupted, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, potentially causing damage to various …

There is quite literally nothing like this on Earth. Alien Crystals A strange mineral found in a meteorite does not behave like anything on Earth when it’s heated. In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers detailed the incredible properties of their sample of silica tridymite, an extraterrestrial form of …

One way scientists study planets is by looking at the minerals on their surfaces. They can tell us a lot about how worlds form. Scientists have been looking at unusual layers of iron sulfates on Mars, and these layers may represent a whole new mineral. Janice Bishop, a research scientist at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute and NASA …

Scientists have a fairly good idea of what Mars’ surface looks like. But exactly what that surface is made up of is more of a mystery.  Now, scientists believe they have discovered an entirely new mineral on Mars from an unusual layer of iron sulfate with a distinct spectral signature. In a Nature Communications paper published on August 5, astrobiologists …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Scientists at Columbia University discovered a hybrid crystal-glass material called tridymite with unique thermal properties. 🔬 Tridymite maintains constant thermal conductivity across temperatures, defying conventional heat conduction behaviors. 🔥 The material’s properties could revolutionize steel production by improving heat management and reducing carbon emissions. 🌍 Ongoing research into tridymite may impact future technologies, including sustainable practices …
