source:phys.orgResearchers at the University of Bayreuth have made a significant scientific breakthrough by identifying new yttrium-hydrogen compounds, a discovery that has serious implications for research on high-pressure superconductivity. High-pressure superconductivity refers to the property of materials to become superconducting, which means they conduct electrical current without resistance when exposed to certain pressure conditions. The study is published in Science Advances.Several rare-earth superhydrides are known for being reported to be near-room-temperature superconductors at hi...

Zircons reveal the history of fluctuations in the oxidation state of crustal magmatism and the supercontinent cycle source:phys.orgZircons, a mineral nearly as old as Earth itself, crystalize when magmas (molten rocks) cool and can be found in trace quantities in magmatic rocks. The formation of magma constitutes the mountains on the Earth. Through interactions with water and the atmosphere, the mountains break down into sediments.Zircons are so durable and resistant to weathering and erosion that they rarely go away, and therefore, this mineral in sediments (so-called "detrital zirc...
