Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have discovered a surprising new type of magnetic property that could lead to stronger magnets made from tiny particles of common iron oxide. This ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay ...

See Hormuz Island`s stunning red sea! Learn the natural science behind Iran`s `blood rain` phenomenon. Harmless iron oxide creates a breathtaking spectacle. Click to discover!

University of Oregon chemists are bringing a greener way to make iron metal for steel production closer to reality, a step towards cleaning up an industry that’s one of the biggest contributors to ...

The current market ecosystem features key multinational companies that have been instrumental in defining product standards, ...

Copper smelters from 3,000 years ago may have experimented with materials just enough to launch the Iron Age. The Bronze Age gave way to the Iron Age as the refining process of iron was discovered.

What are Metal Oxide Nanoparticles? Metal oxide nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials composed of metal cations bonded to oxygen anions, with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers.

Plants and microbes are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Now, researchers report iron oxides can drive the same conversion at comparable ...
