TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft collected thousands of particles from comet 81P/Wild 2 and returned them to Earth for laboratory study, and preliminary examination shows that the nonvolatile portion of the comet is an unequilibrated assortment of materials that have both presolar and solar system origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mineralogical perspective on the apatite in bone
TL;DR: In this paper, a mineralogic approach to bone can provide insights into the resorption-precipitation processes of bone development, the exceedingly small size of bone crystallites, and the body's ability to (bio)chemically control the properties of bone.
Journal Article
Structural characterization of kerogens to granulite-facies graphite: Applicability of Raman microprobe spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the usefulness of the laser Raman microprobe (LRM) in characterizing the state of structural order of geologically relevant carbonaceous materials ranging from kerogen to granulite-facies graphite (in their samples, 4A < L a < ∞) is demostrated.

TL;DR: The presence of deuterium and nitrogen-15 excesses suggest that some organics have an interstellar/protostellar heritage and a diverse suite of organic compounds is present and identifiable within the returned samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of OH in nanocrystalline apatite as a function of degree of atomic order: implications for bone and biomaterials.
Jill D. Pasteris,Brigitte Wopenka,John J. Freeman,Keith Rogers,Eugenia Valsami-Jones,Jacqueline A.M. van der Houwen,Matthew J. Silva +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the body biochemically imposes a specific state of atomic order and crystallinity on its different apatite precipitates (bone, dentin, enamel) in order to enhance their ability to carry out tissue-specific functions.
