Scientists at the Ohio State University (OSU) found that heavy metals including iron are capable of emitting low-energy electrons, if they are exposed to X-ray wavelengths of specific energies. The discovery was made as the team was investigating stars and black hole, trying to determine how chemical elements emit an... |

Sediments that researchers found underneath the Pacific Ocean proved to be more than just mud. Inside it, experts found a new type of bacteria that is apparently able to tie down heavy metals, and thus may hold the key to creating more effective water cleaning agents. If the studies are successful, then it could be a... |

Some three new metal-eating worm species were found in landfills in the United Kingdom, thriving under layers of heavy metal rich deposits. Scientists say they appear to have developed a "taste" for heavy metals, such as lead, zinc, arsenic, and copper, which they digest and then excrete into nature in a slightly dif... |
