Fast in-situ X-ray scattering reveals stress sensitivity of gypsum dehydration kinetics
Understanding the dehydration of gypsum is important for fluid-triggered earthquakes, and for its use in the construction industry. Here, x-ray scattering reveals that a small elastic load substantially accelerates dehydration kinetics, and is far more effective than applying heat.
