After 200 years scientists finally crack the “dolomite problem”

A 200-year mystery is cracked as scientists finally grow dolomite—by learning how to wash away its flaws.

For more than two centuries, scientists tried and failed to grow dolomite in the lab under conditions thought to match how it forms in nature. A recent study has finally changed that. Researchers from the University of Michigan and Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan succeeded by developing a new theory based on detailed atomic simulations. Their work solves a long-standing geological puzzle known as the "Dolomite Problem." Dolomite is a widespread mineral found in iconic locations such as the Dolomite mountains in Italy, Niagara Falls and Utah's Hoodoos. It is abundant in rocks older than 100 million years, yet it is rarely seen forming in more recent environments.

That type of stuff really fascinates me.

Anyways, take an image of amorphous globosus, a defect where an infant, usually one of twins, is born as a lifeless blob of flesh, blood and tissue, sometimes even with bones in there

Un giorno mi dissero, "non vorrei mai essere come te"

Io risposi : "non preoccuparti, non lo sarai mai!"

A parte che se esprimi un giudizio lo giustifichi... comunque, grazie a Dio, siamo tutti diversi e speciali, ognuno a modo suo.
