Europa's Ocean Translates Interior Tidal Heating Patterns to the Ice‐Ocean Boundary
The circulation in Europa's ocean determines the degree of thermal, mechanical and chemical coupling between the ice shell and the silicate mantle. Using global direct numerical simulations, we investigate the effect of heterogeneous tidal heating in the

Exoplanet interiors and habitability [PDF]
More than 1000 exoplanets with a radius smaller than twice that of the Earth are currently known, mainly thanks to space missions dedicated to the search of exoplanets.

Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]
We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted considerable attention as a safe and cost‐effective to energy storage system. Cathode materials, which are critical to determining overall AZIB performance, remain a major hurdle to deployment.

Global patterns in Earth's dynamic topography since the Jurassic: the role of subducted slabs [PDF]
We evaluate the spatial and temporal evolution of Earth's long-wavelength surface dynamic topography since the Jurassic using a series of high-resolution global mantle convection models.

Mantle Convection Moving Plates [PDF]
This demonstration models the manner in which the convection currents in the mantle of the Earth cause movement of the plates. Convection currents in the mantle were thought, for many years, to be solely responsible for plate tectonic movements, with the

On the location of plumes and lateral movement of thermochemical structures with high bulk modulus in the 3-D compressible mantle [PDF]
The two large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) at the base of the lower mantle are prominent features in all shear wave tomography models. Various lines of evidence suggest that the LLSVPs are thermochemical and are stable on the order of hundreds ...

Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and

Mantle partial melting produced the volcanic crust of Mercury. Here, the authors numerically model the formation of post-impact melt sheets and find that mantle convection was weak at around 3.7–3.8 Ga and that the melt sheets of Caloris and Rembrandt ...

On the global geodynamic consequences of different phase boundary morphologies [PDF]
Phase transitions can influence mantle convection patterns, inhibiting or promoting vertical flow. One such transition is the ringwoodite-to-bridgmanite plus periclase transition, which has a negative Clapeyron slope and therefore reduces mantle flow ...
