Superconductivity: Which one of these is not like the other?
Superconductivity appears to rely on very different mechanisms in two varieties of iron-based superconductors. view more (2009-07-13)
Clemson chemists discover new way antioxidants fight debilitating diseases
Cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are often linked to DNA damage that occurs when metal ions in the body such as iron and copper produce reactive oxygen compounds that damage human cells. view more (2007-08-20)
Sulfur in marine archaeological shipwrecks -- the 'hull story' gives a sour aftertaste
Advanced chemical analyses reveal that, with the help of smart scavenging bacteria, sulfur and iron compounds accumulated in the timbers of the Swedish warship Vasa during her 333 years on the seabed of the Stockholm harbour. view more (2008-05-19)
U of Minnesota-led study reveals mysteries of deep-sea nutrients
Iron dust, the rare but necessary nutrient for most life, can not only be washed into the ocean from rivers or blown out to sea, but it can bubble up from the depths of the ocean floor, a new study led by a University of Minnesota scientist shows. view more (2009-02-09)
Iron supplements may relieve unexplained tiredness in young women
Unexplained tiredness is common in young women. In this week's BMJ, researchers find that non-anaemic women with fatigue may benefit from taking an iron supplement. The study took place in Switzerland and involved 136 women aged 18 to 55 who consulted a doctor with fatigue, but who were not anaemic. They were divided into two groups; one group... view more...

Separating the brain's 'bad' from 'good' iron
Duke University chemists are developing ways to bind up iron in the brain to combat the neurological devastation of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. view more (2007-08-24)
Ironing out malnutrition
Two of the three keys are in place to unlock the secret to controlling and enhancing plant iron uptake. Scientists are poised to identify the final step in the process that could supply the world with iron-rich crops. Collaboration between American and French scientists has led to the identification of three key genes involved in iron uptake in... view more... (2001-04-02)
Estrogen Linked to Lowered Immunity in Fish
Exposure to estrogen reduces production of immune-related proteins in fish. This suggests that certain compounds, known as endocrine disruptors, may make fish more susceptible to disease. view more (2009-06-04)
Methane-eating microbes can use iron and manganese oxides to 'breathe'
Iron and manganese compounds, in addition to sulfate, may play an important role in converting methane to carbon dioxide and eventually carbonates in the Earth's oceans, according to a team of researchers looking at anaerobic sediments. view more (2009-07-10)
Iron induces death in tumor cells
Rapid growth of cancer cells and their frequent divisions have their price: Cancer cells need considerably more energy than healthy cells. view more (2009-03-11)
How rusty is the Earth?
An iron object lying around outside quickly turns rusty. Iron metal always has to be combined with some other elements or coated with paint to stop it corroding. The reason for this is that iron metal is unstable in the presence of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. It reacts with the iron to produce ferric iron, a form of iron that exists in... view more... (2004-06-10)
Chemists forge a new form of iron
An international team of chemists has discovered a new and unexpected form of iron, a finding that adds to the fundamental understanding of an element that is among the most abundant on Earth and that, in nature, is an essential catalyst for life. view more (2006-06-02)
Iron Can Have Negative Side Effects On People With Kidney Disease
More than 20 million Americans- one in nine adults- have chronic kidney disease, and most don't even know it.[1] Physicians are constantly searching for the most effective therapies to help people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which occurs when kidney disease has progressed and about 90% of kidney function has been lost. While iron therapy... view more... (2004-07-30)
Plant studies reveal how, where seeds store iron
Biologists have learned where and how some plant seeds store iron, a valuable discovery for scientists working to improve the iron content of plants. view more (2006-11-07)
Dartmouth study contributes to research addressing malnutrition and iron deficiency
Dartmouth biologists are leading a research team that has learned where and how some plant seeds store iron, a valuable discovery for scientists working to improve the iron content of plants. view more (2006-11-03)
Physicists offer new theory for iron compounds
An international team of physicists from the United States and China this week offered a new theory to both explain and predict the complex quantum behavior of a new class of high-temperature superconductors. view more (2009-03-13)
A Zen discovery: Unrusted iron in ocean
Iron dust, the gold of the oceans and rarest nutrient for most marine life, can be washed down by rivers or blown out to sea or - a surprising new study finds - float up from the sea floor. view more (2009-02-09)
News Release : Carbon Acts Like Rustoleum Around Hydrothermal Vents
The cycling of iron throughout the oceans has been an area of intense research for the last two decades. Oceanographers have spent a lot of time studying what has been affectionately labeled the Geritol effect ever since discovering that the lack of iron is a reason why phytoplankton grow lackadaisically in some of the most nutrient-rich surface... view more...

Iron banded worms drying out of blood could be linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
Researchers at the University of Warwick and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur have discovered that the mechanism that we rely on to transport iron safely through our blood stream can, in certain circumstances, collapse into a state which grows long worm-like "fibrils" banded by lines of iron rust. view more (2008-02-11)
MIT uncovers key blood protein
Scientists working in the only lab at MIT doing hematology research have uncovered a protein that plays a key role in the recycling of iron from blood. view more (2007-10-12)
