New research involving scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS) highlights the potential utility of iron isotopes for addressing important questions in ocean science. The ...

World's largest iron ore deposit found to date transforms theories about ore formation and should generate trillions of ...

Iron isotope fractionation has emerged as a critical tracer for deciphering the complex biogeochemical cycling of iron in soils. This process, whereby natural variations in the relative abundance of ...

Earth's molten core may be leaking iron, according to researchers who analyzed how iron behaves inside our planet. The boundary between the liquid iron core and the rocky mantle is located some 1,800 ...

In the pure white snow of Antarctica, scientists have found rare isotopes that don't occur naturally on Earth. The isotope, known as iron-60, is usually forged in the crucible of supernova explosions, ...

Aug. 4 (UPI) --New research suggests unique geochemical signatures found in iron-rich meteorites were produced by a process called core crystallization inside the solar system's oldest planetary ...

Scientists say they have discovered "stardust" in Antarctic snow originating from a supernova explosion that showered the Earth in particles of an unusual type of iron. Our planet is constantly being ...

ESA’s orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, has made a pioneering unequivocal discovery of radioactive iron-60 in our galaxy that provides powerful insight into the workings of massive stars that ...
