Magnetite (or Fe3O4) is an elaborate kind of rust - a regular lattice of oxygen and iron atoms. But this material plays an increasingly important role as a catalyst, in electronic devices and in ...

Using the latest nanofabrication methods, physicists have discovered a surprising new electronic property in one of the earliest-known and most-studied magnetic minerals on Earth -- lodestone. Also ...

The crystalline phases (for example, α-Fe 2 O 3, γ-Fe 2 O 3, and Fe 3 O 4) and oxidation state (for example, Fe 2+ and Fe 3+) of iron oxides can be suitably controlled to achieve desirable properties ...
