Transport of dust across the Solar System: Constraints on the spatial origin of individual micrometeorites from cosmic-ray exposure
Reto Georg Trappitsch, Xuan Li
The origin of micrometeorites (MMs) from asteroids and comets is well-established, but the relative contribution from these two classes remains poorly resolved. Likewise, determining the precise origin of individual MMs is an open challenge. Here, cosmic-r ...
Royal Soc2024Blue ice in Antarctica: The gateway to travel in time and space
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Veronica Tollenaar
Antarctica has unique areas that expose blue ice, which contrast to most of the continent (~98%) that is covered by snow. Some of these blue ice areas (BIAs) contain meteorite concentrations and (very) old ice, making them very valuable for understanding o ...
GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences2023Investigating Earth's Formation History Through Copper and Sulfur Metal-Silicate Partitioning During Core-Mantle Differentiation
Identifying extant materials that act as compositional proxies for Earth is key to understanding its accretion. Copper and sulfur are both moderately volatile elements; however, they display different geochemical behavior (e.g., phase affinities). Thus, in ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2018Cubic zirconia in >2370◦C impact melt records Earth’s hottest crust
Bolide impacts influence primordial evolution of planetary bodies because they can cause instantaneous melting and vaporization of both crust and impactors. Temperatures reached by impact-generated silicate melts are unknown because meteorite impacts are e ...
Elsevier2017From 2D to 3D Characterization of Materials Subjected to Extreme Pressure and Temperature Conditions
Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...
EPFL2017A Gibeon meteorite yields a high-performance water oxidation electrocatalyst
Paul Joseph Dyson, Arnaud Magrez, Kevin Sivula, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Florian Le Formal, Mathieu Steven Prévot, Aswin Gopakumar, Wiktor Stefan Bourée, Charlotte Marie Sornay, Julie Voit
Examining the electrocatalytic performance of naturally-occurring metallic minerals is of interest for energy conversion applications given their unique atomic composition and formation history. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic function of an iron-ba ...
