Mysterious Structure Identified Beneath Bermuda Could Explain Its Weird Geology #worldresearchawards #researchawards

 

The islands of Bermuda are a scientific mystery. Not because of the notorious Bermuda Triangle nearby, but because they're perched atop a swollen mass of the Earth's crust that technically shouldn't be there, at least not according to traditional theories.

Now, two seismologists, William Frazer of Carnegie Science and Jeffrey Park from Yale University, have come up with an explanation.

Geologists have long puzzled over Bermuda's existence: The Bermuda archipelago is made up of 181 islands, the outcroppings of a shallow mantle layer formed by a volcano around 33 million years ago.

Usually, volcanic island chains like this (Hawaii, for instance) feature a series of volcanoes of consecutive ages, some current volcanic activity, and a deep-rooted mantle plume.

Pure Water: The Unsung Hero Of The Lab

Image
Pure water plays a pivotal role in almost every life science experiment, diagnostic test or chemical reaction. It’s so important, there’s even a  high impact journal  dedicated to reporting on new water-based research and purification methods. Sadly, lab water still rarely gets the attention it deserves.   The Ultimate Dissolution Solution Without pure water, very few experiments, tests or reactions would be possible. Thanks to its favorable chemical and physical properties, water is often considered the ‘universal solvent’ as it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Perhaps even more importantly, many biochemical reactions will only take place within aqueous solutions. Ultra-Sensitive Analytics Some of the most interesting science being carried out at the moment pushes the boundaries of analytical sensitivity. Techniques such as inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and ICP atomic emission spect...
