"Iron oxides trap phosphorus because they have different charges ... Because phosphorus is a finite resource—mined from phosphate rock found only in the United States, Morocco and China—its supply is ...

Northwestern researchers made progress on new biochemical possibilities this week, in both the human brain and everyday ...

Iron oxide minerals are found in rocks around the globe. Some are magnetic, and some of them rust—especially when exposed to water and oxygen. These characteristics provide clues about the history of ...

Last week, beachgoers off an Iranian island were met by an eerie sight. The sand turned bright red as if the shoreline was ...

“We were trying to create a replica Martian dust in the laboratory using different types of iron oxide. We found that ferrihydrite mixed with basalt, a volcanic rock, best fits the minerals seen ...

With its iconic rusty hue, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that distinctive coloring, overturning a popular ...

Mars is the Red Planet, but turns out the moon has the makings of a reddish cast, too. Yes, scientists have found rust on the moon. The question is: why?

At some point, iron within rocks on Mars reacted with water or water and oxygen in the air, creating iron oxide — much in the same way rust forms on Earth. Over billions of years, the iron oxide ...

“We were trying to create a replica martian dust in the laboratory using different types of iron oxide. We found that ferrihydrite mixed with basalt, a volcanic rock, best fits the minerals seen ...
