Researchers from the University of Vienna discovered MISO bacteria that use iron minerals to oxidize toxic sulfide, creating energy and producing sulfate. This biological process reshapes how ...

Iron sulfide plaques have been observed on roots of wild rice (Zizania palustris) and other wetland plants grown in sulfur-impacted freshwater ecosystems, but the mechanism of their formation and ...

A new study reveals iron sulfides in early Earth's hot springs catalyzed CO₂ reduction into organic molecules, potentially aiding life’s origins. Manganese doping enhanced catalytic activity, ...

Iron sulfides exhibit a rich interplay of structural complexity and magnetic phenomena that has intrigued researchers for decades. These compounds, represented by minerals such as pyrrhotite and ...

An international team of scientists recently published a study highlighting the potential role of iron sulfides in the formation of life in early Earth’s terrestrial hot springs. According to the ...

Iron sulfide (FeS) particles entrained in formation water are small ( 1 μm) with a very large surface area. When freshly produced FeS contacts hydrocarbon condensates they create stable emulsions that ...

NANJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- A group of scientists led by Chinese researchers have uncovered the significance of iron sulfides in supporting the life origin hypothesis in early Earth's terrestrial hot ...

“Minnesota and mining: Our children, our waters and wild rice are political pawns,” published April 15 by Ely resident C.A. Arneson, paints a frightening picture of political intrigue and dangers to ...

In the dark ocean depths, kilometers beneath the waves, scalding water spews from hydrothermal vents as it has for billions of years. Bubbling up at the breaks between Earth’s plates, that water is a ...

Scientists discover that the iron sulfide battery material undergoes significant changes in its microstructure and chemical composition as sodium ions enter and leave the material during the first ...
