To build mountains from dolomite, a common mineral, it must periodically dissolve
<p>For 200 years, scientists have failed to grow a common mineral in the laboratory under the conditions believed to have formed it naturally. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan, have finally pulled it off, thanks to a new theory developed from atomic simulations.</p> <p>Their success resolves a long-standing geology mystery called the "Dolomite Problem."
