Plants found to recruit distinct chemical activities of coumarins under different soil pHs
Plants have two main uptake mechanisms to obtain iron (Fe) from the soils. The type of strategy employed depends on the botanical classification of the plant. In the so-called strategy-I mechanism, plants must first reduce the trivalent iron (Fe3+) i.....»»
Durable, inexpensive electrocatalyst generates clean hydrogen and oxygen from water
A new electrocatalyst made of nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) that decreases the amount of energy required to synthesize H2 from water has been manufactured in a simple and cost-effective way, increasing the practicality of H2 as a clean and.....»»

Deep within the Earth, iron oxide withstands extreme temperatures and pressures
The core–mantle boundary (CMB) is the interface between the Earth's iron metal core and the thick rocky layer of mantle just above the core. It is a world of extremes—temperatures thousands of degrees Fahrenheit and pressures over a million times.....»»
Late Prehistoric discovery turns archaeological assumptions on their head
For a team of archaeologists digging in southwest Spain, the discovery of a Bronze/Iron Age stela—a funerary stone slab with carvings depicting an important individual—would have been exciting enough. But to find a stela that challenges longstand.....»»
Every Marvel movie villain, ranked
From Thanos to Loki to Kang, Dar-Benn, and some truly disappointing "Iron Man" villains, we rank all the big bads of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... even Malekith (who??). Once upon a time, Marvel had a villain problem, but those days may be f.....»»
All Marvel Cinematic Universe movies ranked worst to best
Since 2008's "Iron Man," there have been dozens of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The latest? "The Marvels." We rank the best to worst of the MCU. Marvel started its multi-phase movie takeover in 2008. Since then, this high-flying fra.....»»
This is a first: An exoplanet in a polar circumbinary disk surrounding two stars
We live in an age of exoplanet discovery. One thing we've learned is not to be surprised by the kinds of exoplanets we keep discovering. We've discovered planets where it might rain glass or even iron, planets that are the rocky core remnants of gas.....»»

New study finds Mars"s liquid iron core is smaller and denser than previously thought
For four years, NASA's InSight lander recorded tremors on Mars with its seismometer. Researchers at ETH Zurich collected and analyzed the data transmitted to Earth to determine the planet's internal structure. "Although the mission ended in December.....»»
The Earth"s iron core isn"t just a solid mass
A new study by physicists discovers that the Earth's dense inner core is made up of constantly switching iron atoms. According to a new "holy grail" scientific discovery, the blazing-hot ball of metal at the center of the Earth's core is actual.....»»
Chemists make antibacterial films more effective with iron
RUDN University chemists have improved the effectiveness of antibacterial chitosan films used in medicine and the food industry, by adding iron and a new chitin derivative to chitin nanoparticles. The results were published in the journal BioTech......»»
Iron atoms discovered on the move in Earth"s solid inner core
