Iron is a metal in group VIII of the periodic table with atomic number 26, an atomic weight of 55.85, and a density of 7.86. It has a melting point of 1539 C.

The faster an atom moves around, the more heat it carries ... would lie if there were no motion due to heat; that is, if the metal's temperature were at absolute zero (-273°C).

Ironmaking could be on the edge of a major upgrade. Scientists have developed a cleaner, electrochemical method to extract ...

Researchers have developed a molecular system for controlled release of iron. They integrated ferrocene, a molecular sandwich that encloses an iron atom, with a carbon 'nanohoop'. As a result, the ...

The alloy is harder and stronger than the pure metal. Steel contains atoms of other elements as well as iron. These atoms have different sizes to iron atoms, so they distort the layers of atoms in ...
