Ancient sediments that once resided on a lake bed and the ocean floor show sulfur isotope ratios unlike those found in other samples from the same time, calling into question accepted ideas about when ...

A magma that would freeze solid on Earth can keep flowing on Mercury, and sulfur is the reason. New laboratory experiments published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta in early 2026 show that ...

Geochemist Alexandra Phillips has sulfur on her mind. The yellow element is a vital macronutrient, and she’s trying to understand how it cycles through the environment. Specifically, she’s curious ...

The organism, an early-evolving bacterium named Hydrogenobacter, thrives in the hydrothermal spring environments of Yellowstone National Park, which are rich in sulfur but have very low dissolved ...

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A University of Maryland-led team of scientists has discovered that diamonds can be natural time capsules, preserving information about the cycling of sulfur between Earth’s crust, ...

Montana State University has long been a hub for research on the many unique features of nearby Yellowstone National Park, and now a doctoral student in one of the university's microbiology ...

Oxygenated VOCs with low and/or extremely low vapor pressures are particularly significant to the climate. They are essential in generating atmospheric aerosols by condensing onto pre-existing aerosol ...

A new experimental study published in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta reveals that Mercury’s sulfur-rich interior behaves in ways that challenge long-standing Earth-based models of planetary evolution ...
