Magnesium exhibits a high potential for a variety of applications in areas such as transport, energy and medicine. However, untreated magnesium alloys are prone to corrosion, restricting their practical application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ne ...
Under mild dual photoredox/copper catalysis, the reaction of N-alkoxypyridinium salts with readily available silyl reagents (TMSN3, TMSCN, TMSNCS) afforded d-azido, d-cyano, and d-thiocyanato alcohols in high yields. The reaction went through a domino proc ...
Under ambient conditions, marine organisms are able to synthesize a variety of functional materials, ranging from eye lenses to protective shells through the meticulous control over magnesium incorporation into calcite during its crystallization. The mecha ...
It was argued that, in contrast to all known modern scleractinian corals that form aragonite skeletons, the original mineralogy of the Cretaceous "Coelosmilia" (ca. 70-65 Ma) was calcite during a period when the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio of the seawater was presumab ...
This study, which complements a first mineralogical work, presents detailed petrographic and chemical data on the sequences of clay infillings commonly found in serpentine veins of reactivated faults from the New Caledonian peridotite formation. Chemical t ...
In this paper, the degradation mechanisms of the ceramic and the metal in Titanium/Zirconia pairs for biomedical applications were analyzed. To do that, an experimental set-up with well-controlled mechanical and chemical conditions was used based on a unid ...
Given the great concern about phosphorus (P) resource depletion, it's promising to recover P from waste activated sludge (WAS) especially for agricultural application. To this end, it's necessary to understand the P speciation and fractionation within the ...
Magnesium partitioning between metal and silicate was experimentally investigated between 34 and 138GPa, 3,500 and 5,450K using laser-heated diamond anvil cells. The 22 measurements are combined with previously published data (total of 49 measurements) to ...
The structure of a biological system defines its function. Therefore, nature has developed sophisticated systems that catalyze chemical reactions that are vital for life on earth. For instance, the photosynthesis is a biological process that is partially r ...
Earth's core is essentially composed of a light-element bearing iron-nickel alloy (Birch 1964). The nickel content in the core has negligible effects on physical properties such as density and compressibility (e.g., Lin et al. 2003; Kantor et al. 2007; Mar ...
