Researchers have unveiled that myriad, intricate factors influence the genesis and chemistry of bastnasite and rare earth carbonates, which are critically needed for today's tech industry and its ...

New experiments reveal jarosite’s selective bromine capture under Mars-like conditions, offering a fresh lens to decode the ...

The current geochemical view is that hydrocarbons generated from organic matter disseminated in fine-grained sedimentary rocks and coals are controlled primarily by temperature and duration of heating ...

We measured formation temperatures of thermogenic and biogenic methane using a "clumped isotope" technique. Thermogenic gases yield formation temperatures between 157° and 221°C, within the nominal ...

A slice of the El Ali meteorite, now housed in the U of A's Meteorite Collection, contains two minerals never before seen on Earth. A team of researchers has discovered at least two new minerals that ...

Researchers from the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, working with international collaborators, have identified a rare phosphorus-bearing carbonate mineral - bradleyite - ...

Silicon monoxide gas detected by JWST signals the sublimation and recondensation of silicate dust into crystalline minerals. These minerals combine into pebbles, the earliest building blocks of ...
