Powdered rock (gouge) is produced continually and extruded from the sliding surface during our experiments (the gouge layer was not confined laterally).

Quartz crystals produce electricity when they are deformed by mechanical stress, which may explain how enormous chunks of gold can form in inert rock ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered leopard spot–like features in this Martian rock (closeup image shown). On Earth, similar structures are associated with microbial life.

Scientists have discovered levels of iridium 30 times greater than average in the Cretaceous/Tertiary (KT) boundary, the layer of sedimentary rock laid down at the time of the dinosaur extinction.

Ximen Mining Corp. (TSXV:XIM) (FRA:1XMA) (OTCQB:XXMMF) (the "Company" or "Ximen") announces results from rock and soil geochemical surveys conducted on the Quartz Mountain property in 2022.

Quartz layers are key spots for gold mining, and quartz and gold precipitate from solution under fairly similar conditions. One theory about the mechanism by which gold nuggets form in quartz ...

A previously unknown layer of partially molten rock has been detected beneath Earth’s crust. The discovery could help scientists learn more about the motions of Earth’s tectonic plates.

Quartz crystals in the atmosphere of foreign world WASP-17b have been found to form high-altitude clouds on the gas giant.

Razer's 14-Inch Blade Laptop Is Now Available In Brilliant Quartz: A new pink colorway for the streamers.

Scientists say they have discovered a hidden new layer under the Earth's upper mantle that could help us better understand plate tectonics.

The mysterious discovery of a concentrated chunk of rare mineral quartz in the Gale Crater region of Mars by the Curiosity rover in 2016 has finally been explained by researchers.

Earthquakes may cause gold nuggets to form in quartz by generating an electric field that attracts gold dissolved in fluid forced up from deep underground.
