The researchers used a technique, called instrumented nanoindentation, to measure olivine’s strength. The technique allowed them to recreate pressure conditions similar to those inside the earth by ...

This replication marks the first theoretical reproduction of barred olivine and provides strong support for new models of crystal growth and cooling conditions in early solar system environments.

This crystal shows two distinct chemical zones from its core to rim. (C) Back-scattered electron image of an olivine crystal from the Kilauea Halema’uma’u December 2024–January 2025 eruption.

Olivine essentially increases the ocean’s ability to absorb CO2 while also boosting the water’s pH. It is abundant in the earth’s mantle and captures carbon as it mixes with ocean water.

I think it's important for business leaders and investors to recognize the strategic uses of magnesium olivine across sectors if they want to capitalize on its potential applications.
