Instead, researchers have started turning to alternative ways to capture COby turning to the planet's vast reserves of ...

Kanan and Chen seem to have cracked the code by converting common slow-weathering minerals called silicates into fast-weathering minerals. “We envisioned a new chemistry to activate the inert ...

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

The most common mineral in absolute is Bridgmanite, known also as Silicate-Perovskite. It´s composed of magnesium, iron and silicon dioxide and it's estimated to make up 38% of earth's volume.

When it comes to knowing what actually lies deep inside the Earth, diamonds are a geologist’s best friend. The diamond bearing the telltale mineral inclusion came from a Botswana mine and formed ...

For the first time, a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO 3) has been identified as a naturally occurring mineral from Earth’s lower mantle, researchers report. The newly discovered ...

For proof, look no further than a recently mined diamond that contained a mineral that had never been seen in nature — until now. While rare to human eyes, calcium silicate perovskite may be ...

The new name, bridgmanite, was approved for the mineral formerly known by its chemical components and crystal structure — silicate-perovskite. The magnesium-silicate mineral was named after ...
