A recent study has found that clay, specifically kaolinite, could be used to discover gold and the critical minerals vital for the clean energy transition. According to Western Australia-based ...
Clay is king for creating ancient fossils. In a new study, researchers confirmed that kaolinite, a mineral found in certain fine-grained rocks around the world, is a key ingredient for preserving some ...
La kaolinite est une argile blanche (silicate d’aluminium hydraté) très fine issue de la dégradation des roches granitiques, composant principal du kaolin. Naturelle, biodégradable, sans danger pour l ...
Has there ever been life on Mars? Scientists have pondered this question for years, and a recent discovery suggests it just might be possible! NASA's Perseverance rover, which has been exploring Mars ...
A recent study published in Scientific Reports outlined a breakthrough in the chemical conversion of kaolinite, a two-dimensional (2D) material, into a three-dimensional (3D) amorphous structure.
Kaolinite, the main material of porcelain clay, has been found to be able to absorb carbon dioxide and thus can be developed as an absorbent to help reduce carbon emissions, according to the ...
We might finally know how ocean-sized deposits of water hundreds of kilometres below Earth’s surface are getting there. A form of clay, called kaolinite, might be soaking up water like a sponge and ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Sometimes scientists must dig and work and sweat to make scientific discoveries. And sometimes a robot rolls over a rock that turns out to be a revelation. That’s what happened ...
