How many grains of sand are there on earth? Off all places, a group of scientists at the University of Hawaii came up with a reasonable way to get an estimate. They began with postulating an average size for a grain of sand and by calculating the number of sand grains in a teaspoon....

Moreover, they observed that adsorbed CeO2 NPs were mostly concentrated on the convex and concave areas of sand and noted that the adsorption of CeO2 NPs onto sand could be described by the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. To the authors best knowledge, there is currently no study characterizing ...
The bulk density of Ryugu samples was reported in several studies; however, some of them have uncertainties due to the volume estimation methods. The volume of the meteorite samples required to estimate their bulk densities was measured with the Archimedean method using 1 mm or less (− 40 ...
