Tools can be a lifetime investment that get passed down from generation to generation, but improper handling and care can ...

Rust can be incredibly annoying if it appears on your new bicycle or car, but if you are a free-floating baby marine animal ...

Rust stains on wood decking may be tough to deal with because the iron oxide that stems from the corrosion process can seep deep into the fibers of the wood and require aggressive cleaning methods.

A new study suggests the iron oxide responsible for the red planet's distinctive hue is ferrihydrite, pointing to the bygone presence of water, an important ingredient for life ...

creating iron oxide — much in the same way rust forms on Earth. Over billions of years, the iron oxide broke down into dust and settled across the planet after being moved by Martian winds ...

Signatures of the water-rich environment in which the rust formed are still preserved in the dust, as analysed by spacecraft studying Mars today. CREDIT: ESA. However, iron oxides come in ...

That fact that water and iron form rust — or iron oxide, chemically speaking — is not up for debate. But there are many kinds of rust, formed by different chemical processes. Knowing which reactions ...

But iron oxides come in many flavors, and the exact chemistry of Martian rust has been intensely debated, the study reports. Because of the absence of liquid water on Mars’ surface today ...

But iron oxides come in many flavors, and the exact chemistry of Martian rust has been intensely debated because how it formed is a window into the planet's environmental conditions at the time.

Scientists have discovered evidence that Earth's oceans were once green, hinting that this could be a marker of early life, ...
