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

China has discovered a new silicate mineral, known as Nipeiite-(Ce ... enriched naming scheme with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics, enhancing China's influence in the international ...

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 ...
