Time's Second Arrow

Join Carnegie Science researchers Robert M. Hazen and Michael L. Wong for a lively discussion about their proposed "second arrow of time"—a heretofore missing law of nature that explains how the marvelously complex constituents of our universe came to be.

Chimps’ Love for Crystals Could Help Us Understand Our Own Ancestors’ Fascination with These Stones

The researchers were hoping to understand whether our own species' long documented appreciation (bordering on obsession) with crystals

Du nouveau chez Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):
La deuxième partie d'« AmphiCalc-1 » pour le calcul et la classification des amphiboles est désormais en ligne : « Amp13RX » pour le calcul des compositions d'amphiboles sur la base de 13 cations sans Na, K et Ca.

AmphiCalc-1 calcule automatiquement à partir d'analyses par microsonde les oxydes, les cations, la composition chimique, la répartition Fe²⁺ et Fe³⁺, ainsi que d'autres paramètres des amphiboles. Les résultats peuvent être téléchargés sous forme de fichier csv. Les diagrammes suivants pour la classification des amphiboles sont créés automatiquement et peuvent être téléchargés sous forme de fichiers svg : diagramme de Leake, diagramme ACF, diagramme AFM.

News from Minetosh online (https://www.minetoshsoft.com):
The second part of “AmphiCalc-1” for calculating and classifying amphiboles is now online: “Amp13RX” for calculating amphibole compositions based on 13 cations without Na, K, and Ca.

AmphiCalc-1 automatically calculates the oxides, cations, formula occupancy, Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ distribution, and other parameters of amphiboles from microprobe analyses. The results can be downloaded as a csv file. The following diagrams for classifying amphiboles are generated automatically and can be downloaded as svg files: Leake diagram, ACF diagram, AFM diagram.
