Experiments show amino acids can cling to interstellar dust, survive heating, and reach planets - supporting a cosmic origin ...

Glass and ceramics are both inorganic materials with useful physical properties that can withstand a high amount of thermal shock and harsh environments. As material scientists continue to find ways ...

Magnesium silicate hydrate cement (MSHC) is a potential low-carbon alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), but its carbon emissions vary with raw materials and mix proportions. A probabilistic ...

Think of it this way: only around 10,000 decently sized meteorites slam into Earth per year. Meanwhile, the planet is ...

New research has found that amino acids, the building blocks of life, may have traveled to Earth on interstellar dust grains, ...

A study was made of the use of magnesium silicates as adsorbents for phosphate present in water. It was found that the phosphate absorption capacity for the minerals and the alumina studied is in the ...

Into each of the 500-odd warplanes produced in the U.S. last week went many times as much magnesium as the total U.S. production of this soft, silvery metal in 1914. And thereby hangs a tale: > Of how ...
