Upper mantle carbonates are magnesium-rich and iron-poor. Under lower mantle conditions, it is thought that the arrangement of electrons in carbonate minerals changes under the pressure stress in such ...

Iron rusts. On Earth, this common chemical reaction often signals the presence of something far more interesting than just ...

It’s an excellent way to teach chemistry students about activation energy and exothermic reactions, says Yilei Wu, a ...

High-valent oxoiron(IV) and formally oxoiron(V) species have been spectroscopically identified as active intermediates in the catalytic cycles of a number of enzymatic systems 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

Scientists found iron-fueled microbial life thriving deep beneath the Red Sea at Hatiba Mons, revealing a vast, metal-driven vent ecosystem.

The expansion of railroads and manufacturing during the late-19th century sparked strong demand for materials such as iron. However, early processes for refining crude iron ore were labor- and ...
