Summary This paper investigates the economic and political transformations of the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean (late eleventh to mid‐fourteenth centuries AD) through the lens of material culture and Social Network Analysis (SNA). Using the distribution of seven types of glazed pottery as archaeological indicators, the study examines changing patterns

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

ABSTRACT Subaerial Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) and Subaqueous Eruption‐Fed Density Currents (SEFDCs) produced during volcanic eruptions can present major hazards to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The bedforms deposited by these volcanic density currents can provide insights into the nature of transport and depositional processes, which

ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Low Abundances of Ultramafic Components in the Chang'e‐6 Landing Site Basalt and Ejecta Material
Abstract The South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) Basin, the Moon's largest impact structure, holds key insights into lunar evolution, prompting the Chang'e‐6 mission to return first samples for ground‐truth verification. Analysis of over 6,000 grains from the Chang'e‐6 soil returned from the SPA Basin reveals a composition dominated by clinopyroxene (26.5–32.9 vol.

A Si and SnS2 based dual‐alloy anode material for metal‐ion battery applications with improved structural, interfacial and electrochemical properties is synthesized via a single‐step solid‐state pyrolysis process. During the pyrolysis step, SnS2 and Si are embedded in a porous, carbonized PAN‐based matrix, which is electronically and ionically ...
