So it is a pretty big piece of meteorite. But in order to take the little tiny salt crystal out, the blue salt crystal out, I had to break the meteorite open little by little. So the entire ...

The desert is now covered by a salt crust that’s thick and also extremely flat. Over the entire area of the salar (10,582 square kilometres or 4,086 sq mi), the elevation varies within one meter.

A team of United Kingdom-based researchers discovered "life's precursor molecules" housed in extraterrestrial salt crystals collected from two ancient meteorites that date back to the formation of ...

New crystal structures of the NapA antiporter in both outward- and inward-facing conformations provide evidence for an elevator-like ion-translocation mechanism in sodium/proton exchangers. To ...

Just add salt. The team’s findings, which were recently published in the journal Nature Communications , show that using salt crystals as a template to grow thin sheets of conductive metal oxides make ...

Salt crystals turn out to be the perfect substrate for growing oxide sheets of magnesium, molybdenum and tungsten. The precursor solution coats the sides of the salt crystals as the oxides begin ...
