Natural Pyrrhotite as a Catalyst in Prebiotic Chemical Evolution

Life, 2013
The idea of an autotrophic organism as the first living being on Earth leads to the hypothesis of a protometabolic, complex chemical system. In one of the main hypotheses, the first metabolic systems emerged from the interaction between sulfide minerals ...

Evolution Model for the Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara Mudstone‐Hosted Ni‐Zn‐Cu‐Co Deposit in Fennoscandia

Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 221-232, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

The Magnetic Mineralogy of Carbonaceous Chondrites: A Microscopy and Machine Learning Study of Meteorite WIS 91600

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A central challenge in the paleomagnetic study of meteorites is to characterize their diverse remanence carriers. Here, we develop a machine‐learning assisted workflow that combines multi‐scale (mm to nm) and multi‐dimensional (2D‐3D) microscopy to build a comprehensive picture of ferromagnetic mineralogy in the C2 ungrouped carbonaceous ...

Tectonic Controls on Volcanism and Associated Hydrothermal Activity in a Sediment‐Dominated Mid‐Ocean Ridge; Escanaba Trough

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Mid‐ocean ridges, the Earth's most extensive volcanic system, exhibit unique characteristics in sediment‐dominant environments. Thick sediment cover insulates the crust and channels fluid along pathways that can lead to the formation of distinct crustal alteration patterns, exceptionally large mineral deposits, and specialized chemosynthetic ...

Fluid‐Induced Magnetic Enhancement in Sandstone Friction Experiments: Implications for Coseismic Fault Temperature Estimates

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Constraining peak temperature during seismic slip is essential for quantifying earthquake energy budgets and fault weakening. Rock magnetic methods provide a sensitive means of estimating shear‐induced coseismic temperature rise; however, the role of fluids in friction‐induced magnetic alterations remains poorly constrained.

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 506-538, June 2026.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...

Kinetic‐Controlled Growth of Iron Chalcogenide Nanosheets Featuring Besnus Transition

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional (2D) Fe‐based nanosheets have sparked wide attention owing to exotic magnetism, superconductivity and topological phases. However, the synthesis of 2D FemXn (X = Te/Se/S, m, n: integer), typically in a non‐stoichiometric ratio, remains challenging because of narrow thermodynamic windows.

Impact and Crystallization Modeling of the Sudbury Basin and Its Implications for a Hadean Crust

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury Structure hosts Earth's largest and best‐preserved impact‐induced melt sheet, the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which crystallized into distinct noritic, gabbroic, and granophyric layers. We conduct impact simulations with iSALE‐2D and crystallization modeling using alphaMELTS 2 to track the formation and evolution of the ...
