Soil microbes in polar ecosystems are sensitive We are excited to share new research that highlights the impact of climate change on microbial communities in polar ecosystems. The publication, "Soil Microbial Responses to Simulated Climate Change Across Polar Ecosystems," explores how shifts in temperature and moisture affect soil microbes in Arctic and Antarctic deserts and tundras, with important implications for carbon and nitrogen storage. We would like to congratulate the authors Ana Khan and Becky Ball (ASU School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences) for their valuable contribution to understanding the complexities of climate change in these sensitive regions. We are proud that ASU METAL contributed to this research by providing access to our Hach Lachat Quikchem 8000 for soil analysis, along with analytical support from Sarah McGregor, research specialist with the METAL Core.

Earth's deep mantle might hold hidden nitrogen We are excited to share new research supported by the Eyring Materials Center (EMC) team, which explores the role of nitrogen in Earth’s early formation. The publication, "The Effect of Nitrogen on the Dihedral Angle Between Fe?Ni Melt and Ringwoodite: Implications for the Nitrogen Deficit in the Bulk Silicate Earth," investigates how nitrogen might be trapped in Earth’s mantle rather than lost to the core. We want to congratulate the authors Kyusei Tsuno (EMC, FORCE: Facility for Open Research in a Compressed Environment ), Virginia Xu (School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy), Logan Leinbach (EMC, FORCE), Kurt Leinenweber (ASU School of Molecular Sciences (SMS), FORCE), Axel Wittmann (EMC)Sang-Heon Dan Shim (School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU (SESE), FORCE) and Damanveer Grewal (SMS, SESE, FORCE) on this fascinating work! We are proud that the team utilized our JEOL Ltd. JXA-8530F electron microprobe, high-pressure facility and Multi-Anvil Press to carry out their experiments. It is rewarding to see our resources support research that deepens our understanding of Earth’s formation.
