National Academies advisory: Critical minerals and national defense stockpile
The United States uses more than 7.5 trillion pounds of nonfuel minerals each year to produce everyday items such as mobile phones and cars. View More (2007-10-03)
Scientists find safer ways to detect uranium minerals
The threat of 'dirty' bombs and plans to use nuclear power as an energy source have driven Queensland University of Technology scientists to discover a new, safer way of detecting radioative contamination in the ground. View More (2006-11-22)
Variety of foods -- the key for child nutrition
New research shows that most children have a diet that contains enough essential vitamins and minerals. View More (2008-09-25)
Astronomers hunt Martian water from Earth
As Mars makes its closest approach in almost 60,000 years, two Australian astronomers have used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii to look for signs that the planet once had liquid water - and so may have hosted life. Dr. Jeremy Bailey of the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Australian Centre for Astrobiology (ACA) at Macquarie University in Sydney, and Sarah Chamberlain,... View More (2003-08-26)
Health benefits of wheat can be improved by plant breeding
Wheat products, and in particular, wholegrain products, are important sources of dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and other components which are beneficial for human health. View More (2010-05-05)
Mercury mineral evolution
Mineral evolution posits that Earth's near-surface mineral diversity gradually increased through an array of chemical and biological processes. View More (2012-06-26)
Extracting Metal from the Sea ââ"ö" the Environmentally Friendly Way
A novel method that uses bacteria to mine valuable minerals from the ocean has been developed. Nodules collected from the Indian Ocean seabed can be treated to extract scarce land-based minerals in an environmentally sound way, says research published in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology. Using the marine species Bacillus M1, Cobalt, Copper and Nickel can be extracted from the... View More (2004-04-02)
Oil production and the diet of worms
Oil geologists now have a new villain to worry about - the digestive processes of the marine worm. Clay minerals are the bane of an oil geologist's life. They sit in pore spaces and block the necks of communication between them, so reducing both porosity and permeability - the two essential characteristics of an oil reservoir, which holds the precious black fluid, like a sponge. Now, researchers... View More (2003-05-01)
Is dephytinization from infant cereals beneficial to the nutrition absorption?
Cereals are considered a rich plant source of carbohydrate, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and are therefore are usually introduced to an infant's diet between the ages of four and six months. View More (2009-05-08)
New technology for recovering valuable minerals from waste rock
Researchers report discovery of a completely new technology for more efficiently separating gold, silver, copper, and other valuable materials from rock and ore. View More (2011-09-15)
Making sense of space dust: Researchers explore solar system's origins
The chemical breakdown of minerals that may be lurking in space dust soon will be available to scientists around the world. View More (2010-08-11)
Wet era on early Mars was global
Conditions favourable to life may once have existed all over Mars. Detailed studies of minerals found inside craters show that liquid water was widespread, not only in the southern highlands, but also beneath the northern plains. View More (2010-06-28)
Nature-inspired advance for treating sensitive teeth
Taking inspiration from Mother Nature, scientists are reporting an advance toward preventing the tooth sensitivity that affects millions of people around the world. View More (2013-01-03)
Paper announces discovery of 1 of earliest minerals formed in solar system
In the May-June issue of the journal American Mineralogist, a team of scientists announced the discovery of the new mineral krotite, one of the earliest minerals formed in our solar system. View More (2011-05-09)
Meteorites reveal warm water existed on Mars
New research by the University of Leicester and The Open University into evidence of water on Mars, sufficiently warm enough to support life, has been published this week in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. View More (2012-11-16)
Fungi have a hand in depleted uranium's environmental fate
Fungi may have an important role to play in the fate of potentially dangerous depleted uranium left in the environment after recent war campaigns, according to a new report in the May 6th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. View More (2008-05-05)
US lacks data on supply of minerals critical to economy, national security
To make the products people use every day, from mobile phones and computers to toothpaste, TVs, and cars, the United States relies on a variety of nonfuel minerals that have limited global availability. View More (2007-10-08)
Relic of life in that Martian meteorite? A fresh look
Since the mid-1990s a great debate has raged over whether organic compounds and tiny globules of carbonate minerals imbedded in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were processed by living creatures from the Red Planet. View More (2006-03-23)
Microwaves could take the grind out of the rock business
The feasibility of using microwaves to extract minerals from rocks has been demonstrated by UK researchers. This revolutionary technique could cut mining and mineral processing industry costs, and make it viable to process previously uneconomic mineral reserves. It could also help the environment by saving energy as 3 - 5% of the world's entire electrical energy output is used for the size... View More (2003-05-16)
New material shows promise for trapping pollutants
Water softening techniques are very effective for removing minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which occur as positively-charged ions in "hard" water. View More (2011-09-07)
