Titanium silicate minerals encompass a diverse class of compounds in which titanium occupies coordination environments that can functionally substitute for silicon in the silicate framework. The ...

Scientists have understood for years that silicate minerals react with CO 2 and water to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, acting as a thermostat that kept Earth’s climate broadly stable over billions ...

Rocks, particularly the types created by volcanic activity, play a critical role in keeping Earth’s long-term climate stable and cycling carbon dioxide between land, oceans, and the atmosphere. In ...

Clouds of sand can condense, grow and disappear in some extraterrestrial atmospheres. A new look at old data shows that clouds made of hot silicate minerals are common in celestial objects known as ...

Carbon-negative mining offers a promising path to meeting the mineral demands of the energy transition while shrinking the ...

Rocks, particularly the types created by volcanic activity, play a critical role in keeping Earth’s long-term climate stable and cycling carbon dioxide between land, oceans, and the atmosphere.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If a supervolcano burps out a choking cloud of carbon dioxide ...

Using a diamond as their vessel, tiny specks of mineral blasted upward from the Earth’s lower mantle survived a harrowing journey of hundreds of miles amid unbelievably high temperatures and colossal ...

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 ...
