Their findings, published in Physical Review Letters, shed new light on the melting curve and structural phase of iron under extreme conditions. "The goal of this study was to explore the ...

It's thought that items in this find of around 800 objects, including the remains of wagons and horse harnesses, date back 2,000 years ago to the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Duncan Wilson, ...

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 thermite process is a handy way to generate molten iron in the field. It’s the reaction between aluminium metal and iron oxide, which results in aluminium oxide and metallic iron.

The table shows the melting point and density of iron, compared to three non-transition metals. Iron, a transition metal, has a higher melting point and a higher density than the non-transition ...
