The Maribo CM2 meteorite fall - survival of weak material at high entry speed
High entry speed (> 25 km/s) and low density (< 2500 kg/m3) are two factors that lower the chance of a meteoroid to drop meteorites. The 26 g carbonaceous (CM2) meteorite Maribo recovered in Denmark in 2009 was delivered by a superbolide observed by ...

The origin of alteration “orangettes” in Dhofar 019: Implications for the age and aqueous history of the shergottites [PDF]
The shergottites are the largest group of Martian meteorites, and the only group that has not been found to contain definitive evidence of Martian aqueous alteration.

Analytical Characterization of Quantum Dot Enhancement Films in Commercial Displays
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are increasingly used in displays, yet many compositions are regulated due to hazardous metal content. Their accurate identification and assessment are therefore essential. Here, a multimodal analytical workflow centered on LA‐ICP‐MS enables spatially resolved identification and classification of QDs in commercial quantum ...

Outgassing of Ordinary Chondritic Material and Some of its Implications for the Chemistry of Asteroids, Planets, and Satellites [PDF]
We used chemical equilibrium calculations to model thermal outgassing of ordinary chondritic material as a function of temperature, pressure, and bulk compositions and use our results to discuss outgassing on asteroids and the early Earth.

A Nonlinear Quantitative Model for Measuring Concentration Ratios From Raman Intensities
Estimating concentration from Raman intensity ratios is complicated by cross‐contributions from overlapping peaks, causing measured ratios to deviate from the linear behavior assumed in conventional quantitative models. This nonlinear method fully accounts for cross‐contributions, allowing estimation of concentration over several orders of magnitude ...

High pressure minerals in the Château-Renard (L6) ordinary chondrite: implications for collisions on its parent body [PDF]
We report the first discoveries of high-pressure minerals in the historical L6 chondrite fall Château-Renard, based on co-located Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron backscatter ...

Reidite Formation From Zircon Subjected to 20, 40, and 60 GPa Shock Experiments
Structure disordering as a result of shock pressure: In zircon shocked from 20 to 60 GPa, the shock‐induced structural disorder increases with increasing shock pressure (gray area). Shock disorder of zircon is an integral part of its transformation to reidite: Reidite occurs after amorphous material.

Mechano-chemical synthesis of ammonia and acetic acid from inorganic materials in water
A mechano-chemical reaction formed by a simple high-energy ball milling was applied to simulate the synthesis of ammonia and organic precursors from common inorganic materials that occurred on early Earth.
