Stunning Pallasite Meteorite slice, a rare stony iron class of meteorites that contain Olivine/Peridot within the iron matrix. Estimated to be 4 billion years old, these meteorites make up only 0.1 to 0.2% of all 50,000 meteorites found on earth. These meteorites can provide insights into the solar system’s formation. - #nature #space #meteorite #meteorites #pallasite #pallasitemeteorite #pallasites #olivine #peridot #astronomy #protoplanet | natur

Diamonds are formed naturally in space and have been found on meteorites and distant planets. Wood, however, requires life, oxygen, water, and complex biological processes, making it extremely rare beyond Earth. This surprising fact reminds us that everyday materials on our planet are cosmic anomalies. Something as common as wood may be far more valuable than diamonds when viewed on a universal scale. Important Details: • Diamonds exist in space • Wood requires life to form • Earth-only biologic

How can a material found in meteorites help OEMs make EVs more efficient? Silicon carbide is a powerful #semiconductor that can support higher voltages and reduce the size and weight of power electronics equipment in #EVs. While rare on Earth, silicon carbide is commonly found in meteorites. Fortunately, advancements in manufacturing allow us to harness this material's unique properties without making a trip to the stars. | Aptiv
