Iron, a common element in rocks and groundwater, plays a key role in this reaction. The study found that these ...

If the Fe redox transformation is microbially mediated, no Fe redox reaction will occur; however, if the Fe redox transformation is driven by an abiotic process, a reaction will take place. b ...

This discovery changes how we think about where life can exist. It shows that geological activity alone, without sunlight or organic matter, can provide enough energy for ecosystems to survive ...

Researchers found that earthquake-driven rock fractures can power deep-Earth life by splitting water into energy-rich compounds. Chinese scientists have recently questioned the long-standing idea that ...

Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that "all life depends on sunlight." In a study published in Science Advances, the researchers identified how microbes in deep ...

Research InterestsDr. Mayhew's research interests lie in the fields of low temperature geochemistry and geomicrobiology. Her current focus is tracking Fe redox transformations in serpentinite rocks ...
