Mica is a naturally occurring mineral and as such its exact composition varies between grades, as will its properties. Ruby Mica or Pottassium Aluminosilicate is the highest grade of Muscovite Mica.

Muscovite mica is a common layered phyllosilicate mineral with perfect cleavage planes. These atomically flat surfaces are ideal for studying minerals and clays using scanning probe techniques with ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Materials scientists can now use insight from a very common mineral and well-established earthquake and avalanche statistics to quantify how hostile environmental interactions may ...

MUONS may leave detectable tracks in muscovite mica under suitable conditions such as those found deep underground after the formation of the mica crystals in pegmatites 1. The momentum spectrum of ...

A national protocol that underpins the remediation scheme for homeowners affected by mica and pyrite is to be reviewed amid concerns about the existence of other deleterious materials in the ...

Dream homes in Ireland, just as in Connecticut, are turning to nightmares because of dangerous minerals in their concrete. In Connecticut, pyrrhotite is causing basement walls to crack and crumble.
