INTERGROWTHS OF PLATINUM GROUP MINERALS FROM THE MIASS PLACER ZONE (SOUTH URALS) AND THEIR PRIMARY SOURCES [PDF]
Twenty four platinum group minerals (PGMs) were found in the Kialim and Maly Iremel gold placers of the Miass placer zone, South Urals. Rhodarsenite, bowieite, cuprorhodiste, and xingzhongite(?) were found in the Urals for the first time.

COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY OF CRYSTALS OF PLATINUM GROUP MINERALS FROM PLACERS OF THE SOUTH URALS [PDF]
Crystals of platinum group minerals (PGMs) of the Os–Ir–Ru and Pt–Fe systems from placer deposits of the South Urals are zonal and relatively homogenous in composition and can contain inclusions of PGE sulfides, arsenides, sulfarsenides, and antimonides.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

MICROINCLUSIONS OF PGM MINERALS IN ANCIENT GOLD PRODUCTS: OCCURRENCE, COMPOSITION, ALTERATION [PDF]
The PGM microinclusions in ancient gold products from the Urals, Siberia, Azov region and Turkmenistan are compared with similar inclusions from the Middle East artifacts. Microinclusions were found in the archaeological sites, which are located close to

Autonomous X‐Ray Fluorescence Mapping for Nanoscale Chemical Speciation of Fine Particulate Matter
We present X‐AutoMap, an autonomous X‐ray fluorescence mapping framework that integrates real‐time analysis with rule‐based computer vision to selectively target chemically relevant regions. By avoiding background‐dominated areas, the method reduces acquisition time by fourfold while enabling accurate particle‐level speciation.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITION OF GOLD FOIL FROM ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONUMENTS OF ALTAI, URALS, AND DON REGION: ICP-MS AND XRF DATA [PDF]
The composition of gold foil from archaeological monuments of Altai, Urals and Don region was studied with ICP-MS and XRF. The foil from the Altai and Uralian monuments is characterized by the higher contents of Pt (54–315 ppm) and Pd (3–13 ppm) in ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Tunable amylopectin graft copolymers for flocculating and dewatering iron ore tailings
Abstract Polyacrylamide (PAM), the standard flocculant for mining tailings, often produces turbid supernatants and poorly dewatered sediments, limiting water reuse and tailings densification. We synthesized amylopectin‐graft‐poly[(2‐methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (AP‐g‐PMETAC) copolymers with systematically varied graft frequency (N =
