It Literally Takes Fire And Brimstone to Transport Gold to Earth’s Surface
The processes that haul gold up to the surface from deep within Earth’s mantle rely on the sulfur that bubbles beneath active volcanoes.
Two new papers have agreed that some forms of sulfur form molecular bonds with gold that would otherwise remain sequestered in the mantle, allowing the precious element to rise.
What they don’t quite agree on is which form of sulfur is most important.

How Humanity Is Illuminating Life
Summary: This article explores how humanity has advanced its knowledge of biodiversity over time, from folk wisdom to modern databases. It highlights how technology has made information about life on Earth accessible to everyone and argues we should be optimistic about the future of taxonomy and conservation.
Alone in the forest, the modern person might find it difficult to identify a beech tree. Compared to indigenous shamans who forage thousands of medicinal plants, we are deeply disconnected from nature. But even if our personal understanding of nature is in decline, as a species, we’ve never known more about the natural world.
The fact is, while it is valuable, indigenous knowledge is often limited to the local area, difficult to distinguish from myth and ritual, and, if passed on orally, easy to lose. Literate naturalists faced similar problems. Aristotle recorded many species in writing, but much of his work was lost. Most traditional written research that survived to modern times is narrow in scope, disorganized, and spread throughout obscure tomes.
