Their exotic chemistry doesn’t match Earth rocks, but it does match the proportions of elements seen in a type of meteorite called a carbonaceous chondrite, van Ginneken and his colleagues report March 31 in Science Advances.
If successful, their carbonaceous semiconductor could greatly improve energy transfer efficiency, giving everyone a joltThe post Breakthrough Scientists You Need to Know appeared first on OZY.
Another carbonaceous asteroid could plausibly have done the job.
While the Baptistina source has dried up, carbonaceous asteroids are abundant enough to represent a plausible asteroid impactor, and would match all of the data.
They’re similar to a type of meteorite called carbonaceous chondrites, which come from the most common type of asteroid — carbon-bearing “C-type” asteroids.
Loftily poised in ether capacious, Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous.
It is overlaid by about eighteen inches of black alluvial carbonaceous mould.
Large portions of its margin consist of the brittle carbonaceous slate.
Next in point of altitude, is the series of dark, carbonaceous, shelly slate rock.
Never use a new bottle before it has been heated sufficiently to get rid of grease and carbonaceous dirt.
