Experts hope the minerals they find via this method will “power green, renewable energy sources for a sustainable future.” ...
So, as I explain in a new column in Nature Geoscience, we are getting closer to having crystal balls (for volcanoes, at least). Magma, the super-hot molten rock which feeds volcanic eruptions ...
Consider a can of soda. When the can is closed (pressurized), the soda contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). When you open ...
By the end of the day, about 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, data from 16 crystals was collected and analyzed. The data, which ...
Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.
To time how fast a sprinter runs, you just need a stopwatch. To time how fast magma moves, you need to know a little bit ...
As this magma migrates towards Earth’s surface ... is particularly effective at preserving these clues, like a tiny crystal ball. Fortunately, there are crystals of clinopyroxene within many ...
The column of light captured in this photo was created by the red glow from the magma. The steam erupting from the volcano met cold air and formed ice crystals. These ice crystals reflected the ...
