TL;DR: In this article, Zhang et al. used zircon U-Pb SHRIMP (5 samples), laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS (22 samples), and TIMS (5 sample) dating to establish that the Early Cretaceous was a significant period of igneous activity in the Liaodong Peninsula, with a duration of about 10 Ma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that Pacific plate subduction resulted in crustal thickening and subsequent lithospheric delamination which resulted in the upwelling of asthenospheric mantle and formation of juvenile crust by underplating of mantle-derived magma in the lower crust.

TL;DR: Zircon U-Pb isotopic dating by LA-ICP-MS and SHRIMP methods indicates that the Guanghua and Ji'an Groups were formed between 2.1 and 2.0 Ga, but that the rocks of the Laoling Group may have formed in two episodes at 2.5 −2.2 and 2.9 −1.9 ε, respectively.

TL;DR: The Cangshang gold deposit of the north-western Jiaodong Peninsula contains reserves of greater than 50 tonnes (t) and is developed by the largest open pit gold mine in China.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors incorporated copper clusters into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) via a two-step thermal polymerization process, forming a superior thin black g-C 3N4 nanosheets based Cu cluster composite with highly efficient charge transfer characteristic and enhanced photocatalytic activity.
