Experimental Investigation of Soapstone and Granite Rocks as Energy-Storage Materials for Concentrated Solar Power Generation and Solar Drying Technology. ACS Omega , 2023; 8 (21): 18554 DOI: 10. ...

Planetary scientists believe they've detected a 30-mile-wide deposit of granite below the moon's surface, something no one expected to find other than on Earth.

Rock samples assaying up to 42.1 g/t gold (Au) and 1.93% Copper ... These samples were collected from a strongly oxidized granite, very similar to the main Heart zone showing.

The team collected several rock samples from the belts and analyzed them. The granite samples contained a large amount of silicon oxides, which added strength. However, the Craton granite contained ...
