Gypsum rock exhibits a distinctive coupling of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical processes that governs its performance in natural and engineered settings. Its crystalline structure incorporates water ...
Millions of years ago fire and water forged the gypsum rocks locked in at Cuatro Ciénegas, a Mexican valley similar to the Martian crater where NASA's Rover Curiosity roams. A team of researchers have ...
Cyanobacteria living in rocks in Chile's Atacama Desert extract water from the minerals they colonize and, in doing so, change the phase of the material from gypsum to anhydrite. Researchers gained ...
Researchers examine how Atacama Desert microbes use rocks as a water source. Several microbes in desert environments live inside rocks. To survive, such endolithic microbes rely on the ability of ...
