GL and DTM are merging, combining our more than a century of cutting-edge studies of the natural world to allow a broader and more interdisciplinary investigation of the origin and evolution of planets and the materials from which they are made!

We’re joining forces! The Geophysical Lab has merged with the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism to create the Earth and Planets Laboratory.
Our social media channels are merging too. Follow @CarnegiePlanets for Geophysical Lab’s updates and events.

A legendary scientist. @carnegiescience was fortunate to have him in our orbit for so many years.
Remembering our trustee emeritus Frank Press, a National Medal of Science laureate and former president of the @theNASciences, who died January 29. He was also the Cecil and Ida Green Senior Fellow at @CarnegiePlanets from 1993 to 1997. carnegiescience.edu/news/car…

Great to have this group at @carnegiescience HQ this week and get updates on their progress from Alan Boss. @CarnegiePlanets & @CarnegieGeoPhys have been leaders in the field of planetary science since its inception.
.@CarnegiePlanets' Alan Boss chairs the committee that oversees @NASA's Extreme Precision Radial Velocities working group, who are meeting at our downtown DC HQ. They will propose a roadmap for achieving the Doppler precision needed to measure the masses of Earth-like exoplanets.

“For anyone who is into—or whose kids are into—Pokémon, this carbon-based clathrate structure is like the #Eevee of materials,” joked lead author Li Zhu. “Depending which element it captures, it has different abilities.”
A long-sought-after class of “superdiamond” carbon clathrates with tunable mechanical and electronic properties was predicted and synthesized by Carnegie’s Li Zhu and Timothy Strobel. Their work is published in @ScienceAdvances carnegiescience.edu/node/258…

What's a superdiamond? Well this new class of carbon clathrates sounds like a good fit for that title. They have robust, diamond-like bonds, but can be tuned from semiconductor to superconductor, depending on the element they host in their latticed cages. carnegiescience.edu/node/258…

Class of "superdiamond” carbon clathrates w/ tunable mechanical and electronic properties predicted and synthesized at @CarnegieGeoPhys. The clathrate takes on different properties depending on the element captured in its latticed cages. Is it ... Eevee? carnegiescience.edu/node/258…

We predicted and synthesized an entirely new class of “superdiamond” carbon-boron cages, which can trap different elements and tap into different properties.

I'll never pass up a chance to promote REU's to undergrads (especially #firstgen students) interested in research.
My summer REU @CarnegieGeoPhys ~12yrs ago was the 1st time I experienced what "doing science full time AND getting paid" looked/felt like.
Spoiler: It was AWESOME – at Somerville, MA

January is a time for new beginnings, which is why we're excited that @CarnegiePlanets and @CarnegieGeoPhys are merging into Carnegie Earth and Planets!

And that's a wrap on #CarnegieAGU for 2019. Thank you to all the @CarnegieEcology, @CarnegieGeoPhys, and @CarnegiePlanets scientists for sharing their incredible work with us all week! Thank you to @theAGU for a spectacular Fall Meeting!
Liquid water was present on Mars' Gale Crater for about 1.5 billion years, likely intermittently, says @s__morrison at #AGU19.
.@s__morrison is walking us though the mineralogy of Mars as detected by the CheMin instrument on @MarsCuriosity. What can the layering of these minerals teach us about the history of water on the Red Planet? #AGU19
The mineral abundances from @MarsCuriosity's CheMin instrument's 23 drilled rock samples show incredible variability, which tells us about the aqueous conditions that were present in Gale Crater says @s__morrison at #AGU19.
