Falling iron 'snow' may drive the planet's magnetic field. A storm of falling iron particles may be circulating liquid in Mercury’s core, new research suggests. The results may help explain the origin ...

Flakes of iron snow could be falling inside the planet Mercury, according to a new experiment. This hot metal snowfall might help generate Mercury’s puzzling magnetic field. Researchers in the US have ...

New scientific evidence suggests that deep inside the planet Mercury, iron "snow" forms and falls toward the center of the planet, much like snowflakes form in Earth's atmosphere and fall to the ...

In a number of biological processes, iron-sulfur clusters play a vital role, where they act as cofactors to enzymes. Research now shows that cubic clusters can support unusual bonding states. This ...

Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. New research from the University of Bayreuth and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Cultures of the blue-green alga, Aphanocapsa, were grown under iron-limiting conditions and changes in concentration of redox components of ...

The core of Mercury may have flakes of iron falling like snow and initiating a global magnetic field. Cynthia Graber reports. On Earth, snow crystals, as we all know, form from frozen water. But ...

The Mary Rose — the favourite warship of King Henry VIII — is being slowly destroyed by tiny, acidic specks of iron and sulphur compounds which need to be removed to preserve the 510-year-old vessel, ...

Explanation: A pure substance is one which is made up of only one kind of atoms or molecules. They have the same composition throughout. 2.Rusting of an article made up of iron is called (a) corrosion ...

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. Iron is an ...
