Recently, a team of researchers led by Prof. DU Zhixue from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIGCAS) has discovered that substantial amounts of water could have been efficiently "locked away" deep within the mantle as it crystallized from a molten state.

A new study published in Planet reveals a Micro-XRD method to quantitatively measure the ancient collision histories of meteorites. Researchers from China, Canada, and Japan have developed a quantitative technique to determine peak shock pressures in enstatite chondrites—rare meteorites chemically linked to Earth’s building blocks—using micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD) method.

New experiments reveal jarosite’s selective bromine capture under Mars-like conditions, offering a fresh lens to decode the Red Planet’s aqueous past and halogen cycling.

Researchers in Beijing have generated a transcriptomic atlas comparing human fetal tooth germs from the upper and lower jaws at the critical cap stage of development. Previous studies of tooth development mainly focused on mandibular teeth, while this study uncovers gene expression patterns of maxillary teeth and their differences from mandibular tooth germs.

Understanding how fluoride moves from the soil into tea leaves is critical for both plant health and consumer safety. 

We are excited to announce a special call for papers for an upcoming issue of Communications in Transportation Research (COMMTR) that is dedicated to the emerging intersection of generative models and intelligent control in autonomous driving traffic systems.
