What do Mozart, Christopher Columbus and J.P. Morgan have in common? It turns out they all have minerals named after them. A new member of this exclusive club has recently been inducted: Mercouri Kanatzidis, materials scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and professor at Northwestern University. Kanatzidis is the namesake of a newly discovered mineral, kanatzidisite, which was recently unearthed in Hungary and announced by the International Mineralogical Society. Kanatzidisite belongs to a class of materials known as chalcogenides, which Kanatzidis has studied extensively for decades at Argonne and Northwestern. Chalcogenides are sulfur-containing materials that in antiquity were used in the production of copper metal. "To have a mineral named after me? Well, that's a real 'rock star' moment in my career," Kanatzidis said. "It's a very unusual honor, and you hope the name will stick around a long time." The mineral was found in the Nagybörzsöny deposit at Alsó-Rózsa, Hungary, and now can be found at the Museo di Storia Naturale, Università di Firenze, Florence, Italy. Its chemical formula is (SbBiS3)2Te2.

Plate tectonic surprise: Geologist unexpectedly finds remnants of a lost mega-plate

Utrecht University geologist Suzanna van de Lagemaat has reconstructed a massive and previously unknown tectonic plate that was once one-quarter the size of the Pacific Ocean. Her colleagues in Utrecht had predicted its existence over 10 years ago based on fragments of old tectonic plates found deep in the Earth's mantle. Van de Lagemaat reconstructed lost plates through field research and detailed investigations of the mountain belts of Japan, Borneo, the Philippines, New Guinea, and New Zealand. To her surprise, she found that oceanic remnants on northern Borneo must have belonged to the long-suspected plate, which scientists have named Pontus. She has now reconstructed the entire plate in its full glory. The work has been published in Gondwana Research.
