The top-tier instrumentation at Carnegie’s Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL) makes it one of the best places in the world to study materials under pressure. Jill Yang is the high-pressure research ...

Metabolism is one of the strongest drivers of interkingdom interactions-including those between microorganisms and their multicellular hosts. Traditionally thought to fuel energy requirements and ...

We report a synthetic route to mesoporous crystalline aluminosilica materials using high pressure and temperature. In the first step a large-pore periodic mesoporous aluminosilica SBA-15 material was ...

The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) consists of 156 identical spectrographs (arrayed as 78 pairs) fed by 35,000 fibers, each 1.5 arcsec diameter, at the focus of the ...

Hydrogen is expected to display remarkable properties under extreme pressures and temperatures stemming from its low mass and thus propensity to quantum phenomena. Exploring such phenomena remains ...

The Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration 2 (SEGUE-2) obtained 128,288 low-resolution spectra (R similar to 1800) of 118,958 unique stars in the first year of the Sloan Digital ...

Targeted MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) X-Ray Spectrometer measurements of Mercury's largest identified pyroclastic deposit are combined with neutron and ...

We conducted high-pressure experiments on hexagonal close packed iron (hcp-Fe) in MgO, NaCl, and Ne pressure-transmitting media and found general agreement among the experimental data at 300K that ...

Leaf dark respiration (R-dark) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of R-dark and associated leaf traits. Data for ...

Crystal structures of minerals are defined by a specific atomic arrangement within the unit-cell, which follows the laws of symmetry specific to each crystal system. The causes for a mineral to ...

10.1111/j.1365-313X.2004.02176.x Many plants increase in freezing tolerance in response to low temperature, a process known as cold acclimation. In Arabidopsis, cold acclimation involves action of the ...

As the decarbonization of the electric power sector gathers pace, electric power systems will need to evolve in multiple ways: larger amounts of intermittent renewables will need to be deployed, as ...
