There are proposals to search for such artefacts in minerals, and via isotopic and atmospheric analysis. The problem with looking for such processes in a universal manner is the lack of a rigorous definition outside the context of known terrestrial biochemistry, and therefore these cannot be ...
However, minerals are likely precipitated in the eastern parts of the study area due to the ongoing dissolution along the flow path. The relatively low loading of F indicates the low effect on the overall salinization and the high concentration of F is likely due to the dissolution of mafic ...
Based on literature on shocked plagioclase feldspars studies in the lab, potential challenges for analyses of shocked minerals using SuperCam and SHERLOC may occur on Mars. These challenges include the scale at which shock effects occur (Sect. 5.1) and the non-uniqueness of spectral bands as shoc...
Therefore, companies in the non-metallic minerals sector, including the manufacturing of glass, clay building materials, cement, lime, concrete, and many other important raw materials, that are supported by research and policy could serve as frontrunners, adopting new ways to decarbonize logistics...
