New data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows where crystalline silicates form around young stars and how disk outflows transport them to colder, outer regions.

Silicon monoxide gas detected by JWST signals the sublimation and recondensation of silicate dust into crystalline minerals. These minerals combine into pebbles, the earliest building blocks of ...

For the first time, a high-pressure calcium silicate perovskite (CaSiO 3) has been identified as a naturally occurring mineral from Earth’s lower mantle, researchers report. The newly discovered ...

A young, still-forming star has been caught in the act of creating heat-born crystals and hurling them far into the cold ...
