We performed melting experiments of hydrous pyrolite at pressures from 3 to 8 GPa and temperatures from 1,100°C to 1,800°C to identify the origin of chemical variation in cratonic garnet peridotites with high contents of magnesian orthopyroxene. In hydrous conditions, the stability field of residual orthopyroxene expands relative to olivine above solidus, and the harzburgitic residue contains l...

Density of the Earth's core is lower than that of pure iron and the light element(s) in the core is a long-standing problem. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the solar system and thus one of the important candidates. However, the dissolution process of hydrogen into iron remained unclear. Here we carry out high-pressure and high-temperature in situ neutron diffraction experiments and cl...

It is not sufficiently appreciated that methly alcohol is very toxic. For econoi' reasons, methyl (wood) alcohol is employed as a substitute for tbyl (grain) alcohol, in what may be termed comparatively innocent products, such as perfumes, hair tonics, skin lotions, , '/ polishes, varnishes, etc. Government analysts, not infrequently, find it employed in the manufacture of various extracts for ...

Ringwoodite [(Mg,Fe)2SiO4 spinel] has been considered as one of the most important host minerals of water in the Earth’s deep mantle. Its extensive hydration was observed in high-pressure synthesis experiments and also by its natural occurrence. Water can dissolve into ringwoodite as structurally bound hydrogen cations by substituting other cations, although the hydrogen site and its occupancy ...

Solid-state flexible energy storage devices hold the key to realizing portable and flexible electronic devices. Achieving fully flexible energy storage devices requires that all of the essential components (i.e., electrodes, separator, and electrolyte) with specific electrochemical and interfacial properties are integrated into a single solid-state and mechanically flexible unit. In this study,...
