Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

The current market ecosystem features key multinational companies that have been instrumental in defining product standards, ...

Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay ...

Most phosphorus in the environment is in an organic form that plants cannot directly use, and traditional understanding suggested only enzymes could convert it into the bioavailable inorganic form.

CHICAGO — One of the more recent developments in sunscreen technology is the addition of iron oxide to mineral sunscreens. Iron oxide is "an excellent pigment" that absorbs and blocks visible light, ...

Phosphorus is a key element for all life on Earth. For decades, researchers thought that, in nature, only enzymes could transform organic phosphorus—phosphates within biomolecules—into its ...

The German chemical maker Lanxess is working with the battery materials firm IBU-tec to develop iron oxides for production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a cheap cathode material. Many Chinese firms ...

Sunscreen is an essential part of any skin care regimen — and for any skin color or type. But, as a new study highlights, people of color may have a harder time finding a tinted sunscreen that matches ...

As pressure mounts on the global mining industry to secure raw materials while reducing environmental harm, a once-overlooked ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus “sinks.” A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic — ...
