Instead, evaluations of the selective entrainment and transport rates of the mineral grains yield trends which exactly parallel their observed concentration factors within the placer, indicating the ...

These include the discovery of new high-temperature materials, the design of novel extractive metallurgy processes, the modelling of mineral formation, the evolution of earth over geological time ...

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid, a molecule commonly found on ...

A new paper in Science Advances describes for the first time how minerals come together at the molecular level to form bones and other hard tissues, like teeth and enamel.
