Researchers Analyze the Conditions for the Occurrence of Magnetic Fields in Superionic Ice

New research led by the Carnegie Institution for Science and the Center of Advanced Radiation Sources at the University of Chicago revealed the conditions for the generation of the magnetic field of ice giant planets like Uranus and Neptune caused by the layer of “hot” electrically conductive ice.

Researchers Detect Quantum Phase Transition Deep Within the Earth's Lower Mantle

The interior of the Earth is a mystery, especially at greater depths (> 660 km). Researchers only have seismic tomographic images of this region and, to interpret them, they need to calculate seismic (acoustic) velocities in minerals at high pressures and temperatures.

New Technique for Commercial Resurrection of Large Quasicrystals

A research team led by the University of Michigan has confirmed the possibility of the commercial resurrection of quasicrystals. It is to be noted that these materials were once considered to have the potential to revolutionize everything from solar cells to frying pans, but lost their fame in the early 2000s.
