Three iron age bracelets and a pin contain metal from a single meteorite that fell over southern Poland more than 2500 years ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

The American Chemical Society, Lyon County Public Library and Murray State University recognized William Kelly's pneumatic process for refining iron as a National Historic Chemical Landmark on May 11, ...

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures. They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to ...

Iron can form compounds with helium at pressures as low as 5GPa – about 50,000 atmospheres – researchers in Japan report.

Fran Scott explains iron extraction. The main raw material is iron ore and this arrives in the UK by ship in huge quantities from Brazil. Other raw materials include coal and limestone. The coal ...

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron ...

During the last 30 years, knowledge of iron-sulfur proteins has grown exponentially. Extensive investigation of this class of proteins has continually led to the discovery of new chemical ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom.
