The Webb Telescope found two young planets forming sand clouds in the YSES‑1 system, revealing unprecedented details about ...

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 ...

All the latest science news on silicate minerals from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Silicate minerals react with carbon dioxide and store it in the ground or, sometimes, in the water. Fortunately, these compounds are plentiful: ...

During their laboratory research, Kanan and Chen adopted a similar process but replaced the sand with another mineral ...

stony meteorites: which mostly have silicate minerals; Each group can be split into many more classes and types depending on the minerals, structure and chemistry. Iron meteorites. A piece of the ...

In nature, common minerals called silicates react with water and atmospheric CO 2 to form stable bicarbonate ions and solid carbonate minerals -- a process known as weathering.

Natural silicate minerals such as basalt react with water and CO2 to form solid carbonate materials, a process known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW).

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 ...

The samples revealed several strange silicate minerals, and also the presence of a brand new mineral, Changesite-(Y), according to a new paper in the journal Matter and Radiation at Extremes.

During their laboratory research, Kanan and Chen adopted a similar process but replaced the sand with another mineral containing magnesium and silicate ions. When heated, the minerals exchange ...
