Researchers from the University of Vienna discovered MISO bacteria that use iron minerals to oxidize toxic sulfide, creating energy and producing sulfate. This biological process reshapes how ...

“Minnesota and mining: Our children, our waters and wild rice are political pawns,” published April 15 by Ely resident C.A. Arneson, paints a frightening picture of political intrigue and dangers to ...

Iron sulfide plaques have been observed on roots of wild rice (Zizania palustris) and other wetland plants grown in sulfur-impacted freshwater ecosystems, but the mechanism of their formation and ...

Sulphur and iron compounds have now been found in shipwrecks both in the Baltic and off the west coast of Sweden. A few years ago scientists reported large quantities of sulphur and iron compounds in ...

The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

Whenever I make scrambled eggs, they turn out grey. What causes this? • If you remember your chemistry teacher heating a mixture of iron filings and powdered sulphur to form iron sulphide, with a ...

When iron filings and sulfur powder are ignited, the reaction is anything but gentle. The two elements fuse into iron sulfide, releasing intense heat and sometimes toxic gas. It’s a classic ...

For nearly six years, the Nucor Steel iron plant in St. James Parish released caustic sulfuric acid mist and highly flammable, rotten egg-smelling hydrogen sulfide into the air — and neither the plant ...
