Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) thin films have attracted significant attention due to their intriguing magnetic properties and complex surface chemistry, which are pivotal for a variety of applications including ...

TPU power engineering researchers, together with their colleagues from China, have presented a new two-stage method to ...

Researchers have discovered that by shining different wavelengths (colors) of light on a material called magnetite, they can change its state, e.g. making it more or less conducive to electricity. The ...

Knowing about the different types of iron ore is useful for investors interested in the space. Iron, a key material in steel and other applications, is most often found in hematite and magnetite ores, ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, have for the first time succeeded in using ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

A miniature detector could pick out magnetic rocks on Mars that might harbour telltale signs of ancient life. The instrument could select rocks that contain a magnetic compound – magnetite – that is ...
