Hydrous magmas become stiffer at high pressure

New data on hydrous silica show that hydrous magmas could become stiffer at high pressure and can enhance coordination changes. This changes our views on the stiffness of magmas in the deep Earth and can help to synthesis new material.
Welcome to the mineral physics group

The mineral physics group lead by Prof. Motohiko Murakami seeks at measuring the physical properties (elasticity, density, etc.) of minerals and materials that constitute the Earth and planetary interiors.
