Insights into secondary reactions occurring during atmospheric ablation of micrometeoroids [PDF]
Ablation of micrometeoroids during atmospheric entry yields volatile gases such as water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, capable of altering atmospheric chemistry and hence the climate and habitability of the planetary surface.

Characterization of Red, Pink, Orange, and Purple Gem-Quality Spinel from Four Important Areas
Spinel is a precious stone with a long history. In ancient societies spinel was considered to be an imitation of ruby. With the depletion of ruby mineral resources, gem—grade spinel has attracted more and more attention from consumers. In the last decade,
