The M3 project: 1- A global hyperspectral image-cube of the Martian surface [PDF]
This paper is the first paper of a series that will present the derivation of the modal mineralogy of Mars (M3 project) at a global scale from the near-infrared dataset acquired by the imaging spectrometer OMEGA (Observatoire pour la Min\'eralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activit\'e) on board ESA/Mars Express.

Aquamarine from Massangana batholith, Rondônia State: mineral chemistry and fluid inclusion data
Beryl is usually found in granite-pegmatite systems. The addition of chromophore elements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe) into the crystalline structure favors color changes in beryl and thus generates some of the world’s expensive gems such as emerald, morganite ...

Review on Infrared Nanospectroscopy of Natural 2D Phyllosilicates [PDF]
Phyllosilicates emerge as a promising class of large bandgap lamellar insulators. Their applications have been explored from fabrication of graphene-based devices to 2D heterostructures based on transition metal dicalcogenides with enhanced optical and polaritonics properties.

Phosphorus mineral evolution and prebiotic chemistry: from minerals to microbes [PDF]
Minerals are known to control the availability of non-volatile and bio-essential elements at Earth’s surface, e.g., phosphorus (P). Therefore, the role of minerals in prebiotic chemistry is a focal point of research into the origins of life. However, the mineralogical diversity of earliest Earth is not definitively known.

Bio-Reclamation of Strategic and Energy Critical Metals from Secondary Resources
Metals with an average crustal abundance of <0.01 ppm, which are high in supply shortage due to soaring demand, can, under the excessive environmental risk and <1% recycling rate of their production, be termed as ‘critical’ in a limited geo ...
