Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay there for generations. New research is now unpacking how these minerals ...

Mineral carbonation in basaltic rocks represents a promising pathway for permanent carbon dioxide sequestration. This process leverages the intrinsic reactivity of basalt minerals—rich in divalent ...

Olivine is the earliest mineral to crystallize from basaltic magma, and accurate knowledge of olivine/melt partition coefficients (D Ol-melt) for first-transition row elements (FTREs) Ga and Ge, is ...

A new process could enable crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the air much more quickly, turbocharging a carbon removal technique that is already being widely adopted. Natural silicate ...

How can astronomers determine if an exoplanet has water based on Earth’s geological composition? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of researchers led ...
