Feiite (Fe3TiO5) is a high-pressure Fe-Ti oxide mineral recently discovered in martian meteorite Shergotty. Feiite is isostructural with Fe4O5, a high-pressure iron oxide stable at pressures >10 GPa.
Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global-scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, ...
Carnegie Science researchers are using seismic waves to investigate a geologic mystery hidden beneath Bermuda. In late May 2026, they will return to the island to service their instruments and collect ...
In the 1960s, a bold vision took Carnegie astronomers to Chile’s Atacama Desert, where they transformed a remote mountaintop into one of the world’s leading observatories. Graced with clear, dark ...
Well-understood physical and chemical processes can easily explain the alleged evidence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program, commonly referred to as “chemtrails” or “covert ...
Washington, DC—The interiors of ice giant planets like Uranus and Neptune could be home to a previously unknown state of matter, according to new computational simulations by Carnegie’s Cong Liu and ...
Last week, more than 70 experts in Earth’s geologic history, including geochronologists, astrochronologists, and paleoclimatologists, gathered in person and online at Carnegie Science’s Earth & ...
