Redox reactions are a fundamental component of planetary formation and evolution. Nevertheless, scientific studies have shown that neither the oxygen fugacity of the lunar interior nor the lunar ...

Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing. In 2023, EPFL researchers ...

The well-known sources of the magnetic field that surrounds Earth are the deep inside core and Earth's crust. Earth's mantle, on the other hand, has been considered to be 'magnetically dead' for the ...

Hematite at the field level: a resource in agronomic management "From the agronomic point of view, the study of this iron oxide allows for the enhanced use of soils, facilitating better fertilization ...

Capri Chasma is located in the eastern portion of the Valles Marineris canyon system, the largest known canyon system in the Solar System. Deeply incised canyons such as this are excellent targets for ...

A team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has confirmed that hematite, the most abundant iron ore on the planet and a staple of steel production, carries a form of magnetism that physicists only ...
