Feathers belonging to a griffon vulture that died around 30,000 years ago have become the first fossils of their kind, ...

Additionally, the antioxidant properties of the zeolite crystal surface help neutralize positively charged unstable atoms in the cells, stimulating cell protection enzymes. Overall, we highly ...

"Fossil feathers are usually preserved in ancient mudrocks laid down in lakes or lagoons. The fossil vulture is preserved in ...

(Quentin Agnello) The crystal type he specializes in is known as Zeolites—hydrated aluminosilicates of alkaline-earth metals that form into natural geodes. The nature of Zeolites makes them ...

Interestingly, they found that microwave absorption caused localized temperatures of over 1000°C in the zeolite's crystal lattice, even as the temperature of the bulk material remained at 500°C.

Researchers unveil comprehensive zeolite structures, advancing development of catalysts for petrochemical and renewable energy Date: March 11, 2025 Source: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University ...

A novel "zeolite blending" method has successfully produced CON-type zeolites with unprecedentedly high aluminum content, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo. By combining ...

"Zeolites can form as primary minerals (with pretty crystals) or can form secondarily, during the natural alteration of volcanic glass and ash." This discovery is the first time that feathers have ...
