Electrochemical water splitting is one of the most promising techniques for the sustainable
production of green hydrogen. However, its large-scale commercialization is heavily …

About 435 mineral species have been identified in meteorites including native elements,
metals and metallic alloys, carbides, nitrides and oxynitrides, phosphides, silicides, sulfides …

Heavily shocked meteorites contain various types of high‐pressure polymorphs of major
minerals (olivine, pyroxene, feldspar, and quartz) and accessory minerals (chromite and Ca …

We report the first occurrence of a natural quasicrystal with decagonal symmetry. The
quasicrystal, with composition Al71Ni24Fe5, was discovered in the Khatyrka meteorite, a …

The first test explosion of a nuclear bomb, the Trinity test of 16 July 1945, resulted in the
fusion of surrounding sand, the test tower, and copper transmission lines into a glassy …

Hypervelocity impacts are among the fundamental phenomena occurring during the
evolution of the solar system and are characterized by instantaneous ultrahigh pressure and …

We report the discovery of a dodecagonal quasicrystal Mn72. 3Si15. 6Cr9. 7Al1. 8Ni0. 6—
composed of a periodic stacking of atomic planes with quasiperiodic translational order and …

Quasicrystals are of interest because of their unique nonperiodic structures and physical
properties. Motivated by naturally occurring icosahedral AlCuFe-and decagonal AlNiFe …

We designed a plate impact shock recovery experiment to simulate the starting materials
and shock conditions associated with the only known natural quasicrystals, in the Khatyrka …

This review systematically presents all finds of geogenic, impact-induced, and
extraterrestrial iron silicide minerals known at the end of 2021. The respective morphological …
