The transition from a carbon-based fuel economy to that centered on hydrogen has gained interest worldwide given the focus on ...

DURING the past few months the study of the chemical changes involved in the rusting of iron has been coming to the fore. In 1888 Crum Brown pointed out that iron remained free from rust in an ...

A new investigation into rust on the Moon implicates Earth as the culprit. Oxygen leaking out of Earth is likely responsible for the transformation of iron to hematite (Fe 2 O 3) at the lunar poles.

Atom-level simulations reveal the reason iron rusts in supposedly 'inert' supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. Trace amounts of water can cause a reaction at the interface between iron and the fluid, ...
