Physicists at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the UK have spotted signatures of magnetic monopoles and other unusual magnetic structures in haematite, a naturally occurring ...

Researchers have now analyzed the optoelectronic properties of rust (haematite) and other metal oxides in unprecedented detail. Their results show that the maximum achievable efficiency of haematite ...

Measuring the kinetics of water oxidation on the haematite surface when it exposed to sunlight. Courtesy: C Mesa, Imperial College London An enzyme called photosystem II (PSII) in plants oxidizes ...

The Spirit rover on Mars has identified haematite at a location half way around the planet to where its twin buggy Opportunity found the same mineral. Haematite is normally formed in the presence of ...

Something unusual appears to be happening on the Moon, and Earth may be playing a part. Researchers have reportedly detected haematite, a form of iron oxide commonly known as rust, on the Moon’s ...

Rust in the form of haematite has been detected on the Moon’s surface, especially at the poles Haematite formation on the Moon requires oxygen and water, which are scarce on the lunar surface Earth’s ...

Bizarre! Moon is rusting without water, oxygen. Read on The scientists recently discovered rust on the airless Moon. The detection of haematite on the lunar surface has surprised scientists. Haematite ...

The Moon is rusting — and it’s Earth’s fault. Scientists have found that oxygen particles blown from Earth to the Moon can turn lunar minerals into haematite, also known as rust. The discovery adds to ...

Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and ...

The Moon, long thought to be a barren and unchanging celestial body, is now showing a surprising and puzzling phenomenon: rusting. Scientists have recently discovered that oxygen particles from Earth ...
