Cell membranes are a key element of life because they keep the genetic material and
metabolic machinery together. All present cell membranes are made of phospholipids, yet …

We present a comprehensive evolutionary model of the Sun's protoplanetary disk,
constructed to resolve the" CAI storage problem" of meteoritics. We predict the abundances …

Here, the petrological features of numerous primitive achondrites and highly equilibrated
chondrites are evaluated to review and expand upon our knowledge of the chondrite …

The origin of diamonds in ureilite meteorites is a timely topic in planetary geology as recent
studies have proposed their formation at static pressures> 20 GPa in a large planetary body …

The fate of highly volatile elements (H, C, F, Cl and S) during planetary accretion and
differentiation is debated. Recent analyses of water in non-carbonaceous chondrites (RC …

Whole rock Δ 17 O and nucleosynthetic isotopic variations for chromium, titanium, nickel,
and molybdenum in meteorites define two isotopically distinct populations: carbonaceous …

A set of 28 different meteorites was tested in 32 ablation experiments in the plasma wind
tunnel PWK1 at the Institute of Space Systems. All meteorites were exposed to the same flow …

Ureilite meteorites are arguably our only large suite of samples from the mantle of a dwarf
planet and typically contain greater abundances of diamond than any known rock. Some …

We present the results of melting experiments on a suite of carbonaceous and ordinary
chondritic compositions (CV, CM, CI, H and LL) performed at low pressure (0.1–13.1 MPa) …

The internal structure and strength of small asteroids and large meteoroids is poorly known.
Observation of bright fireballs in the Earth's atmosphere can explore meteoroid structure by …
