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

Pallasites contain big, beautiful olive-green crystals - a form of magnesium-iron silicate called olivine - embedded entirely in metal. Sometimes the olivine does not occur as a single crystal but as ...

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 ...

A rock from space is giving scientists the first glimpse of a mineral long thought to be the most abundant mineral on Earth, but which researchers lacked a natural sample of until now.

The inner core is believed to be an iron-nickel alloy and the mantle, making up one-third of Earth's volume, is composed of bridgmanite, a magnesium-iron-silicate that is the most abundant mineral ...

I think it's important for business leaders and investors to recognize the strategic uses of magnesium olivine across sectors if they want to capitalize on its potential applications.

The newly christened bridgmanite, named for high-pressure physicist Percy Bridgman, is a high-density form of magnesium iron silicate and makes up about 38 percent of Earth’s volume.

Southampton just added 500 cubic yards of the emerald-colored mineral, a magnesium iron silicate, to a North Sea beach, and it will be mixed with an additional 10,000 cubic yards of sand over the ...

These space objects feature dark green crystals made of a magnesium-iron silicate known as olivine. Some astronomers theorize pallasites may originate within an asteroid, between its core and mantle.

The mineral is a high-density version of magnesium iron silicate. It is the most abundant mineral on Earth, and makes up about 38 percent of the planet's volume.
