One type, however, known as a pallasite meteorite is very different. They are made of olive-green crystals that are composed ...

The study discovered that by adding iron silicate to the vacuum vessel, helium atoms created by interactions with high energy neutrons will embed themselves uniformly across the vessel instead of ...

Stony-iron meteorites Stony-iron meteorites consist of almost equal parts iron-nickel metal and silicate minerals including precious and semi-precious gemstones. They are considered some of the most ...

It’s certainly not an obvious choice as a source for battery materials. But that’s exactly how it’s viewed by a group of New Zealand engineers. Christchurch-based Aspiring Materials has developed a ...

However, the extent of iron isotopic fractionation between molten metal and silicate under high pressure–temperature conditions is poorly known.

A mineral theorized to exist in the mantle was found hiding in a diamond. Dubbed davemaoite, it could explain where some of Earth’s heat comes from.

A research team is exploring new battery technologies for grid energy storage. The team's recent results suggest that iron, when treated with the electrolyte additive silicate, could create a high ...

Chemically speaking the parent rock for this is Magnesium Iron Silicate and particularly pure versions are a source of the green gemstone peridot which is the traditional birthstone for August.

Using this model, the scientists found that over the course of a billion years, water could have seeped through the crust to react with a magnesium-iron silicate mineral abundant in igneous rock ...
