An investigation of the internal morphology of asbestos ferruginous bodies: constraining their role in the onset of malignant mesothelioma [PDF]
Background Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was widely used in the past. However, asbestos inhalation is associated with an aggressive type of cancer known as malignant mesothelioma (MM).

Constraining Earth’s core composition from inner core nucleation [PDF]
The composition of Earth’s core is a fundamental property of the Earth’s deep interior, defining its present structure and long term thermal and magnetic evolution. However, the composition of the core is not well understood, with several combinations of

The kerogen vanadyl porphyrins: Incorporation during catagenesis [PDF]
Natural vanadyl (VO 2+)-deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrins (DPEP) have been shown to be capable of reacting and quantitatively incorporating into immature kerogen model materials (torbanite, lignites, subbituminous coal and immature lacustrine ...

Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry in Earth and Planetary Sciences
: Noble gases are very rare elements in most relevant samples in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. Noble gases may perhaps also look rather boring to chemists, as they do not form any stable compounds.
