Comment on "Intermittent plate tectonics?".

Silver and Behn (Reports, 4 January 2008, p. 85) proposed that intermittent plate tectonics may resolve a long-standing paradox in Earth's thermal evolution. However, their analysis misses one important term, which subsequently brings their main conclusion into question. In addition, the Phanerozoic eustasy record indicates that the claimed effect of intermittency is probably weak.

Afrotheria: plate tectonics meets genomics.

A frotheria is one of the most remarkable hypotheses in mammal evolution. It suggests that one-third of the orders of placental mammals form an ancient group that evolved on Africa when that continent was isolated from others through plate tectonics (1). Although this hypothesis has been predicted by molecular clock studies (2), evidence for it has emerged only in the last 3 years from phylogen...

Fifty years of tachycardia.

In 1943 an otherwise healthy girl aged 3 developed measles encephalitis with an accompanying mild left hemiparesis. At this time a persistent tachycardia of 140 beats per minute was noted, and she was referred to Sir John Parkinson at the National Heart Hospital. He made a diagnosis of atrial tachycardia. A trial of digoxin and quinidine proved ineffective, but she remained symptomatically well...

Inevitability of Plate Tectonics on Super-earths

The recent discovery of super-Earths (masses ≤ ) has initiated a discussion about conditions for habitable 10 M worlds. Among these is the mode of convection, which influences a planet’s thermal evolution and surface conditions. On Earth, plate tectonics has been proposed as a necessary condition for life. Here we show that super-Earths will also have plate tectonics. We demonstrate that as pla...

Fifty Years of Synchrotrons

The idea of a pulsed magnet ring, fundamental to the synchrotron, appeared in a proposal by Oliphant [1] in 1943 and was followed by the independent discovery of phase stability by Veksler [2] in 1944 and McMillan [3] in 1945. This opened the door to a demonstration of synchrotron acceleration to 8 MeV by Goward and Barnes [4] in a converted betatron at Woolwich Arsenal, UK. The event, which to...
