Meteorites, known as messengers of the Solar System, are critical objects for studying the formation and evolution of planets. However, most meteorites cannot be preserved on Earth due to atmospheric filtration and erosion from active ge...
Ion-adsorption rare earth deposits (IADs) are primary sources of heavy rare earth elements (HREE), supplying over 90% of the global demand for HREE. However, the current ammonium-salt-based in-situ mining technique has led to severe envi...
Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that “all life depends on sunlight.” In a study published in Science Advances, the researchers identified how microbes in deep subsurface areas can derive energy from ch...
A new study published in Science Advances by researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIG-CAS), and international collaborators reveals that deeply subducted carbonates can cause strong redox...
Chinese scientists have discovered that fragile swamp forests in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region suddenly collapsed around 2.1 thousand years ago (ka)—with human activity as the cause.The study, led by researchers from the Guangzhou ...
