Ultrafast olivine-ringwoodite transformation during shock compression

Ultrafast olivine-ringwoodite transformation during shock compression

Meteorites from space often include denser polymorphs of their minerals, providing records of past hypervelocity collisions. An olivine mineral crystal was shock-compressed by a high-power laser, and its transformation into denser ringwoodite was time-resolved using an X-ray free electron laser.
