Glass-ceramics are now commonplace in our daily lives, despite having only been discovered for less than a century. Much still remains to be investigated and understood about these materials, both in their applications as well as in the underlying scientific concepts.
Due to their inertness, noble gases constitute powerful tracers of volatile sources (like comets, meteorites or the solar wind). Evaluating the Earth’s isotopic and elemental noble gas composition can then allow us to better understand the origin of volatiles.
