A new NASA study suggests that if life ever existed on Mars, the longest-lasting habitats were most likely below the Red Planet’s surface. A new interpretation of years of mineral-mapping data, from ...
Clay minerals: Researchers observe for the first time how sediment particles align during deposition
Clay minerals are a major constituent of the earth's surface and are mainly found in the sediments of lakes, rivers and oceans. The properties of clay and claystone crucially depend on how the tiny ...
This diagram illustrates the distribution of charges on clay particles within a solution and the structure of the surrounding diffuse double layer. The diffuse double layer of clay minerals will form ...
"The information and the analysis presented here is an attempt to set trends of research in the direction of preventative and creative use of the plant-soil interface"--Back cover. Fundamentals of ...
Smithsonian scientists study saline lakes in the Chilean desert to travel back in time to ancient Earth and beyond Emma Saaty This saline pond system in the Salar de Llamara region of northern Chile’s ...
Plate tectonics can trigger ice ages through the production of the carbon-trapping mineral smectite, according to a new study. MIT geologists have found that a clay mineral on the seafloor, called ...
Engineered biochar–clay “thermal sponge” turns waste wood into a green cooling battery for buildings
Researchers at Yonsei University in South Korea have developed a new composite material that stores and releases heat by melting and solidifying a common wax-like substance called paraffin. The team ...
