Identifying and managing asbestiform minerals in geological collections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Asbestos is widely recognised as a serious hazard, and its industrial use is now banned within the UK, and EU, and strict regulations govern the use of older manufactured materials which may contain asbestos.

Induction of IL-17 production from human peripheral blood CD4+ cells by asbestos exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We have previously reported that chronic, recurrent and low-dose exposure to asbestos fibers causes a reduction in antitumor immunity. Investigation of natural killer (NK) cells using an in vitro cell line model and comprising in vitro activation using ...

Electrical Conductivity During Controlled Deformation at Upper‐Mantle Conditions: First Experimental Achievements in a Griggs‐Type Apparatus

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Electrical conductivity measurements on well‐characterized materials in the laboratory allow accurate interpretations of high‐conductivity anomalies within the lithosphere and asthenosphere, both affected by substantial deformation over geological times.

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2594-2622, November 2025.
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...

Clay‐Mineral‐Coated Separators for Lithium‐Ion Batteries: Exploring the Relationships between Clay Mineral Morphology and Separator Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 40, October 27, 2025.
This review examines how coating Li‐ion battery separators with 1D, 2D, and 3D structured natural clay minerals influences their electrochemical and mechanical performance. It classifies 15 types of clay minerals and highlights structure–property correlations to offer practical design strategies for high‐performance separators in next‐generation energy
