The presence of excessive pollutants in soil and water caused by the fast development of
industry has been a challenge for the innovation of environmental remediation technologies …

Korenaga and coworkers presented evidence to suggest that the Earth's mantle was dry and
water filled the ocean to twice its present volume 4.3 billion years ago. Carbon dioxide was …

The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

The biogenic mackinawite (FeS) is a promising remover for hexavalent chromium. However,
FeS is susceptible to aggregation, affecting the removal efficiency of Cr (VI). To address the …

The interactions and mechanisms between sulfur and heavy metals are a growing focus of
biogeochemical studies in coastal wetlands. These issues underline the fate of heavy metals …

We used synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron
microscopy, and wet chemical analyses to study the sulfidation mechanism (s) and sulfur …

Life cannot emerge on a planet or moon without the appropriate electrochemical
disequilibria and the minerals that mediate energy-dissipative processes. Here, it is argued …

Vanadium contamination is a growing environmental hazard worldwide. Aqueous vanadate
(H x VVO4 (3–x)–(aq)) concentrations are often controlled by surface complexation with …

As many of the methanogens first encountered at hydrothermal vents were thermophilic to
hyperthermophilic and comprised one of the lower roots of the evolutionary tree, it has been …

Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, resulting in climate change, have driven the
motivation to achieve the effective and sustainable conversion of CO2 into useful chemicals …
