For many years, scientists have speculated that seeding the ocean with iron might help to stave off climate change. Iron in seawater promotes the growth of phytoplankton, which in turn devours carbon ...

The research provides the most detailed look yet at the surface chemistry of ferrihydrite, an important type of iron oxide minerals. "Iron oxide minerals are important for controlling the long-term ...

Researchers at Nagoya University have created a more efficient iron-based photocatalyst that could reduce the need for rare and expensive metals in advanced chemistry. Unlike earlier designs, the new ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo report a sunlight-driven process that uses single-atom iron anchored to a support ...

Maria Camila Aguilera, 4th year Chemistry PhD Candidate at the University of Rochester, Rochester NY US. Colombian chemist Maria Camila Aguilera is working on catalysts based on iron, which could open ...

Iron makes up about 5 per cent of the Earth's crust and is the most abundant element in the whole Earth (about 35 per cent). It is the second most abundant metal after aluminium and the fourth most ...

Using mud pulled from the bottom of a tropical lake, researchers at have gained a new grasp of how ancient microbes made methane in the complex iron chemistry of the early Earth. For much of its first ...
