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 ...

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 ...
