Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon atom movement through iron, a phenomenon first observed in the 1970s but ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering within The Grainger College of ...

This photo shows an example of the 3.7 billion year-old banded iron formation found in the northeastern part of the Isua Supracrustal Belt. Geologists at MIT and Oxford University have uncovered ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

Earth’s magnetic field nearly collapsed long ago. What saved it explains why life survived and why the planet remains ...
