From the dust particles to tectonic plates: New views from high-resolution paleomagnetism
Magnetic fields are thought to govern the lifetime of protoplanetary disks by mediating the inward accretion of gas. At finer scales, magnetic instabilities may have led to turbulent eddies where the ...

Dan Cosgrove, Penn State, Rethinking the architecture of growing cell walls and the mechanisms of cell wall loosening
Abstract: For two decades the major model of primary cell walls hypothesizes that xyloglucan binds to cellulose microfibril surfaces, coating them and tethering adjacent microfibrils into a strong yet ...

Long-term behavior of the Earth’s magnetic field: How can we use paleomagnetism to understand the evolution of Earth’s deep interior?
The current understanding of the Earth’s deep interior is limited to recent time where we have direct observations from geophysical data. Fortunately, one source exists that records ancient signals ...
