The Twannberg iron meteorite strewn field in the Swiss Jura mountains: insights for Quaternary environmental conditions

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2023
The ~ 10 km2 strewn field of the Twannberg type IIG iron meteorite is located in the Swiss Jura Mountains, 30 km northwest of Bern. The strewn field has been mapped by a group of citizen scientists since 2006, yielding more than 2000 meteorite fragments ...

The Nitrogen Heterocycle Content of Meteorites and Their Significance for the Origin of Life

open access: yesLife, 2018
Carbonaceous chondrites are very primitive meteorites that are rich in carbon. They contain many soluble organic compounds, including nitrogen heterocycles.

Extraterrestrial hexamethylenetetramine in meteorites—a precursor of prebiotic chemistry in the inner solar system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
This manuscript tackles the origin of organic molecules in carbonaceous meteorites. Identifying hexamethylenetetramine in three carbonaceous meteorites, the authors propose formation from ammonia and formaldehyde by photochemical and thermal reactions in

Variations in the Magnetic Properties of Meteoritic Cloudy Zone

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Iron and stony‐iron meteorites form the Widmanstätten pattern during slow cooling. This pattern is composed of several microstructures whose length‐scale, composition and magnetic properties are dependent upon cooling rate.

Shock-Induced Degradation of Guanosine and Uridine Promoted by Nickel and Carbonate: Potential Applications

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Experimental studies of the degradation of two ribonucleosides (guanosine and uridine) were carried out by making use of mechanochemistry. Mechanochemical experiments reveal the decomposition of guanosine and uridine, promoted by nickel(II) and carbonate

Mikrometeorite und ihr Ursprung im Sonnensystem: Außerirdischer Staub zum Anfassen

open access: yesPhysik in unserer Zeit, EarlyView.
Mit einer Größe, die der Dicke eines Haares entspricht, sind Mikrometeorite kaum sichtbar für das bloße Auge. Dennoch werden sie seit etwa 150 Jahren gesammelt, und seit wenigen Jahren sogar auf unseren Hausdächern. Als Kostproben von Asteroiden oder Kometen stellen sie wertvolle Boten unseres Sonnensystems dar.

Mapping the Residual Stress Distribution in Polycrystalline Quartz Tiger's Eye Using Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Residual stresses in Tiger’s Eye quartz have been mapped by combining Raman spectroscopy and electron back scatter diffraction. The study quantified stress distributions likely formed during cooling due to the anisotropy of thermal contraction. This non‐destructive methodology provides a reliable baseline for mapping stress in both natural polycrystals

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Study of Iron and Stony Meteorite Ablation Based on Simulation Experiments in an Arc Heater

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To observe meteorite ablation, simulation experiments were conducted on the L5 ordinary chondrite and IAB-MG iron meteorites in an arc-heated facility and three flight conditions were reproduced.
