The June 2025 issue of Elements highlights Greenalite, an Fe(II)-serpentine mineral now recognized as a key player in early Earth and Martian geology. Recent nanoscale research challenges long-standing BIF formation models and opens new questions about serpentinization on Mars. Access it now on the Elements website. More…

This Elements issue explores how the geochemistry of marine biominerals—like shells and skeletons—can reveal both past climate conditions and the biology of calcifying organisms. Articles highlight how linking proxy systems with biomineralization processes can reduce uncertainty in reconstructions. More…

This Elements issue explores mineral formation from aqueous solutions, focusing on both classical and newly recognized non-classical pathways. These insights enhance our understanding of natural systems and support advances in sustainable materials, CO₂ storage, and water treatment. More…

The January 2025 Elements issue explores Himalayan leucogranites—iconic products of crustal melting in a continental collision zone. Spanning 2000 km of the Himalaya, these rocks reveal insights into tectonics, magmatism, and mineralization. Members can access the full issue on the Elements website. More…
