Iron and its alloys, such as steel and cast iron, dominate the modern world, and there's growing demand for iron-derived products. Traditionally, blast furnaces transform iron ore into purified ...

That experimentation, the researchers behind the study claim, likely gave way to actual iron production. Iron is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, but the process of ext ...

Research from Cranfield University sheds new light onto the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, showing how experimentation with iron-rich rocks by copper smelters may have sparked the ...

For more than 20 years, the Silverpit Crater deep under the North Sea has been the center of a heated scientific controversy. Some geologists were adamant that an asteroid produced the nearly-perfect ...

It’s the shape and porosity, not the size, of metal oxide particles that matter for efficiency in electrochemical ironmaking. Iron and its alloys, such as steel and cast iron, dominate the modern ...

Copper smelters from 3,000 years ago may have experimented with materials just enough to launch the Iron Age. The Bronze Age gave way to the Iron Age as the refining process of iron was discovered.
