MIT forges greener path to iron production
MIT engineers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to make iron that eliminates the greenhouse gases usually associated with its production. view more (2006-09-13)
Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared. view more (2005-09-29)
NIST and partners identify tiny gold clusters as top-notch catalysts
For most of us, gold is only valuable if we possess it in large-sized pieces. However, the "bigger is better" rule isn't the case for those interested in exploiting gold's exceptional ability to catalyze a wide variety of chemical reactions, including the oxidation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) into harmless carbon dioxide at room... view more...

New iron-based and copper-oxide high-temperature
In the initial studies of a new class of high-temperature superconductors discovered earlier this year, research at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that new iron-based superconductors share similar unusual magnetic properties with previously known superconducting copper-oxide materials. view more (2008-05-29)
Therapeutic nanoparticles give new meaning to sugar-coating medicine
A research team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) studying sugar-coated nanoparticles for use as a possible cancer therapy has uncovered a delicate balancing act that makes the particles more effective than conventional thinking says they should be. view more (2009-09-23)
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)
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)
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)
Widely used iron nanoparticles exhibit toxic effects on neuronal cells
Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered that iron-containing nanoparticles being tested for use in several biomedical applications can be toxic to nerve cells and interfere with the formation of their signal-transmitting extensions. view more (2007-03-29)
UCF researcher's nanoparticles could someday lead to end of chemotherapy
Nanoparticles specially engineered by University of Central Florida Assistant Professor J. Manuel Perez and his colleagues could someday target and destroy tumors, sparing patients from toxic, whole-body chemotherapies. view more (2009-06-17)
Warning over nitric oxide for lung injury patients
Use of nitric oxide in patients with acute lung injury does not improve survival and may cause harm, warn researchers in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-03-23)
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...

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology Letters, an online supplement to the Royal Society's... view more... (2003-04-07)
Argonne scientists discover networks of metal nanoparticles are culprits in alloy corrosion
Oxide scales are supposed to protect alloys from extensive corrosion, but scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered metal nanoparticle chinks in this armor. view more (2008-08-05)
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)
Implant bacteria, beware: Researchers create nano-sized assassins
Staphylococcus epidermidis is quite an opportunist. Commonly found on human skin, the bacteria pose little danger. But S. epidermidis is a leading cause of infections in hospitals. view more (2009-06-26)
Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. view more (2005-09-01)
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)
ASU professor 'follows the elements' to understand evolution in ancient oceans
In the search for life beyond Earth, scientists 'follow the water' to find places that might be hospitable. However, every home gardener knows that plants need more than water, or even sunshine. view more (2008-12-08)
Tiny Tubes and Rods Show Promise as Catalysts, Sunscreen
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed new ways to make or modify nanorods and nanotubes of titanium oxide, a material used in a variety of industrial and medical applications. view more (2007-09-11)
