Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic and ubiquitous metalloid that poses a significant threat to human and ecosystem health, particularly water-borne arsenic from geogenic sources in reducing groundwater.

Inside clouds or on ice sheets in Antarctica, iron oxide dust particles embedded in ice crystals may reduce quickly into a form needed by phytoplankton, a new study reports. This bioavailable iron ...

What do bacteria, wind turbines and solar panels have to do with one another? Nothing ... unless you can teach the bacteria to “breathe” electricity and turn it into biofuel. That’s still a very long ...

A multi-institutional team has directly observed electron hopping in iron oxide particles, a phenomenon that holds huge significance for a broad range of environment- and energy-related applications.

Among the twelve principles of green science and technology is a desire that the production of materials be achieved from sustainable sources with minimal environmental impact, and preferably by ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic—from ...

Scientists have developed a the first way to watch electrons hop in semiconductors. This opens research possibilities for premeditation, solar cells, batteries, hydrogen generation, catalysis. Using ...
