Just for fun we did test notebookLM capabilities to produce simple summary of large texts in a form of a conversation using the recent paper by Nicola Campomenosi and the results without further input is incredible. certainly is not perfect but...

Read moreFirst evaluation of stiff-in-soft host–inclusion systems
First evaluation of stiff-in-soft host–inclusion systems We all have been habit to work and think about inclusions being preserved by their very stiff host. But have you ever wondered what would happen when a stiff inclusion has been entrapped...
Read moreAre you working with mixed-phase inclusions?
Are you working with mixed-phase inclusions? Ross J. Angel and co-authors finally provide the recipes to work out the elastic response of mixed-phase inclusions. Their study published in the European Journal of Mineralogy presents the theory of...
