Bringing you all the news that rocks you to the core from the Geophysical Laboratory, part of @carnegiescience

[CarnegieGeoPhys @CarnegieGeoPhys]

GL and DTM are merging, combining our more than a century of cutting-edge studies of the natural world to allow a broader and more interdisciplinary investigation of the origin and evolution of planets and the materials from which they are made!

[CarnegieGeoPhys @CarnegieGeoPhys]

We’re joining forces! The Geophysical Lab has merged with the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism to create the Earth and Planets Laboratory.

Our social media channels are merging too. Follow @CarnegiePlanets for Geophysical Lab’s updates and events.

A legendary scientist. @carnegiescience was fortunate to have him in our orbit for so many years.

[Carnegie President @CarnegiePres]

Great to have this group at @carnegiescience HQ this week and get updates on their progress from Alan Boss. @CarnegiePlanets & @CarnegieGeoPhys have been leaders in the field of planetary science since its inception.

“For anyone who is into—or whose kids are into—Pokémon, this carbon-based clathrate structure is like the #Eevee of materials,” joked lead author Li Zhu. “Depending which element it captures, it has different abilities.”

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

A long-sought-after class of “superdiamond” carbon-based materials with tunable mechanical and electronic properties was predicted and synthesized by Carnegie’s Li Zhu and Timothy Strobel. https://t.co/CX4ccFLCwJ

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

What's a superdiamond? Well this new class of carbon clathrates sounds like a good fit for that title. They have robust, diamond-like bonds, but can be tuned from semiconductor to superconductor, depending on the element they host in their latticed cages. https://t.co/6CqYtPpufR

[Carnegie Science @carnegiescience]

Class of "superdiamond” carbon clathrates w/ tunable mechanical and electronic properties predicted and synthesized at @CarnegieGeoPhys. The clathrate takes on different properties depending on the element captured in its latticed cages. Is it ... Eevee? https://t.co/6CqYtPpufR

[Li Zhu @ZhuLiGS]

We predicted and synthesized an entirely new class of “superdiamond” carbon-boron cages, which can trap different elements and tap into different properties.

I'll never pass up a chance to promote REU's to undergrads (especially #firstgen students) interested in research.

My summer REU @CarnegieGeoPhys ~12yrs ago was the 1st time I experienced what "doing science full time AND getting paid" looked/felt like.

Spoiler: It was AWESOME

[Carnegie Earth & Planets Laboratory @CarnegiePlanets]

January is a time for new beginnings, which is why we're excited that @CarnegiePlanets and @CarnegieGeoPhys are merging into Carnegie Earth and Planets!

And that's a wrap on #CarnegieAGU for 2019. Thank you to all the @CarnegieEcology, @CarnegieGeoPhys, and @CarnegiePlanets scientists for sharing their incredible work with us all week! Thank you to @theAGU for a spectacular Fall Meeting!

Liquid water was present on Mars' Gale Crater for about 1.5 billion years, likely intermittently, says @s__morrison at #AGU19.

[CarnegieGeoPhys @CarnegieGeoPhys]

.@s__morrison is walking us though the mineralogy of Mars as detected by the CheMin instrument on @MarsCuriosity. What can the layering of these minerals teach us about the history of water on the Red Planet? #AGU19

[CarnegieGeoPhys @CarnegieGeoPhys]

The mineral abundances from @MarsCuriosity's CheMin instrument's 23 drilled rock samples show incredible variability, which tells us about the aqueous conditions that were present in Gale Crater says @s__morrison at #AGU19.
