Posted January 22nd, 2021 for JAMSTEC 1. Overview A research group led by Dr. Naotaka Tomioka, Senior Researcher at the Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (KOCHI JAMSTEC) gave the mineral name “poirierite” to a high-pressure phase with the chemical composition of olivine that was found in shocked meteorites. Poirierite has now been officially approved as a new mineral species by the International Mineralogical Association. Olivine (peridot) is abundantly found not just in the Earth's upper mantle, but also ...

The study was published in the Physical Review Letters journal. Ice is an extreme...

Chemists describe a new form of ice Scientists from the United States, China, and Russia have described the structure and properties of a novel hydrogen clathrate hydrate that forms at room temperature and relatively low pressure. Hydrogen hydrates are a potential solution for hydrogen storage and transportation, the most environmentally friendly fuel. The research was published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Ice is a highly complex substance with multiple polymorphic modifications that keep growing in number as scientists make discoveries. The physical properties of ice vary greatly...
