This study explores the novel production of high-performance glass ceramics (GCs) by
harnessing readily available and cost-effective raw materials schist, dolomite, and …

Since the discovery of dolomite, numerous attempts have been made to understand its
precipitation mechanism at Earth's surface conditions. One such mechanism relies on a …

The main purpose of this work was to boost the surface and adsorption characteristics of
diatomite (D) through chemical modifications with chitosan (DC), chitosan/titanium …

The preparation of affordable glass-ceramic materials by induced crystallization of glass-
based mica schists and other natural raw materials (dolomite & limestone), as well as …

The structure of opal-A was not fully understood due to its poorly crystalline nature. To better
understand its structural characteristics, we have analyzed opal-AN (amorphous-network) …

α-moganite is a recently discovered polymorph of silica, commonly intergrown with quartz in
natural microcrystalline silica samples. An important challenge is finding an effective method …

Secondary reactions and solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) formation are crucial aspects for
battery lifetime. We show that one part of a natural SEI consists of crystalline NaH, which is …

α-Moganite is a polymorph of silicon dioxide that, together with α-quartz, comprises the
inorganic component of flint/chert─ a material of overwhelming importance in archeology …

In contrast to the prevalence of dolomite [CaMg (CO3) 2] in the geological record, there are
few instances of recent formation. This discrepancy occurs despite supersaturation with …

The use of machine learning predictions and clustering techniques in the analysis of
petrophysical data is gaining increasing importance, particularly in the study of successions …
