More than 4,000 naturally occurring minerals—inorganic solids that have a characteristic chemical composition and specific crystal structure—have been found on Earth. They are formed of simple ...

In the search for extraterrestrial life Chinese scientists have come up with a new idea: instead of looking for water, they ...

NASA's Perseverance rover has unearthed a compelling clue in the hunt for past Martian life. A rock sample dubbed "Cheyava ...

My research focuses on crystal structures and elastic properties of silicate and oxide minerals of the deep mantle. Initially, I did this by theoretical calculation and prediction of hydration sites, ...

The study details a way to turn the mineral olivine, which also forms the green gemstone peridot, into an alternative for ...

Different minerals crystallize at different temperatures in igneous rocks. If there is a residual amount of silica in the magma, and assuming that the temperature drops, the olivine crystals react ...

an exploration stage company, engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Canada. The company holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Olivine ...

However, evidence for the presence of seismic anisotropy in this region is mounting from normal modes as well as surface wave studies. Olivine, the most dominant mineral in the upper mantle exhibits a ...
