Peering under a thin layer of iron oxide, or rust, could reveal important carbonate deposits on the surface of Mars, a new study indicates. Finding the mineral could confirm theories that the Red Planet once had liquid water flowing on its surface. Geologists know this from studying water-logged formations here on Ea... |

Usually, when a metal catalyst reacts with an oxygen molecule, the individual split oxygen atoms behave in identical ways. It seems that this is not the case when oxygen molecule interacts with titanium metal. When the two oxygen atoms get split up, one remains embedded into the titanium crystalline structure, while ... |

Simply put, rust is the common term for iron or iron alloy corrosion. Though most of the metals present on Earth eventually go through a corrosion phase, we only refer to the iron metal corrosion when we say the word rust. Iron corrosion represents a set of chemical reactions between iron, water and oxygen, which end... |
