Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

Here we provide an appraisal of the Poisson's ratios (υ) for natural elements, common
oxides, silicate minerals, and rocks with the purpose of searching for naturally auxetic …

Using Brillouin scattering, we measured the single-crystal elastic constants (C ij's) of a
prototypical metal-organic framework (MOF): zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 [Zn (2 …

The geomechanical integrity of shale overburden is a highly significant geological risk factor
for a range of engineering and energy-related applications including CO _2 2 storage and …

In contrast to synthetic materials, materials produced by organisms are formed in ambient
conditions and with a limited selection of elements. Nevertheless, living organisms reveal …

Anisotropy in clay-rich sedimentary rocks is receiving increasing attention. Seismic
anisotropy is essential in the prospecting for petroleum deposits. Anisotropy of diffusion has …

Many sets of forcefield parameters for calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and CaCO3–water
interactions have been developed for thermodynamic calculations, but growing interest in …

Surface wave tomography shows that the central Tibetan Plateau (the Qiangtang block) is
characterized by S wave speeds as slow as 3.3 km/s at depths from 20–25 km to 45–50 km …

Abstract γ-dicalcium silicate (γ-C 2 S) is a potential sustainable binder owing to its high
carbonation reactivity and self-pulverization properties. In this study, porous coral powders …

Subcritical cracking behavior and surface energies are important factors in geological
processes, as they control time‐dependent brittle processes and the long‐term stability of …
