For example, rhabdophane is more likely than monazite to precipitate during chemical weathering, such that it is the dominant authigenic REE-phosphate mineral in most regolith-hosted deposits that ...

Most of these issues are connected to impacts like corrosion, brittleness, porosity, contamination, wear and tear, leaks and ...

Normally, throwing rocks at a problem isn’t the best idea. But in the multi-faceted fight to combat climate change, scientists are finding that crushed rocks judiciously applied to farmers’ fields may ...

Using chemistry and computational modeling, CMU chemistry and engineering faculty are working to manipulate the properties of polymers to make upcycling plastics easier.

In the energy sector, particularly solar and wind, adhesives are being developed to endure UV exposure, thermal cycling, and weathering ... best of multiple systems. For example, epoxy–urethane ...

This cooling may be tied to the chemical weathering of volcanic rock ... “There is a modern-day example of a mantle plume leading to outpourings of magma in Iceland,” Abdelmalak said, drawing ...

Layers of jumbled rocks (presumably brought there by glaciers) are overlain by a type of rock called carbonate, which indicates intense weathering. For six summers, Harvard geologist Paul Hoffman ...
