After years of false starts, the extraction of iron ore at the Kishushe in Taita Taveta County will now start after the Devki Group was issued with mining consent.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

Rare earth elements sit quietly inside smartphones, electric vehicles, and wind turbines, yet they are notoriously difficult ...

In proppant stability evaluations, LithX mobilized only a very small fraction of edge-bound silica, with no evidence of bulk silica dissolution or catastrophic matrix attack, indicating negligible ...

Coal mines are notorious sources of acid mine drainage, but the orange sludge that threatens water supplies and wildlife also ...

MaverickX, which was born in San Antonio and is moving to Austin this year, is built on a bacterium that dissolves rock as a new means of extracting minerals.

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Non-uniform distribution of charges on the surface of iron oxides attracts diverse types of organic compounds through mechanisms with different binding energies. While scientists have long known that ...

Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too. Researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have combined ...
