Researchers have successfully grown dolomite in the lab, resolving a 200-year-old geological mystery and potentially advancing materials science for semiconductors and other technologies.
To create mountains from dolomite, a common mineral, it must periodically dissolve. This seemingly paradoxical concept could help make new defect-free semiconductors and more. For two centuries, scientists have failed to grow a common mineral in the laboratory under the conditions believed to hav
For 200 years, scientists have failed to explain how the mineral dolomite could form in such large quantities to shape entire landscapes. Now, researchers have finally succeeded, thanks to a new approach developed from atomic simulations.

For 200 years, scientists have failed to grow a common mineral in the laboratory under the conditions believed to have formed it naturally. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan
