Sometimes, people with iron deficiency anemia don't respond to treatment with iron supplementation and may go months to years with little to no improvement in anemia. This can happen if the dose is ...

The research examined iron sulfides, minerals present in deep-sea hydrothermal vents as well as modern hot springs such as Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic Spring. The minerals are ...

To test their ideas, the team created tiny particles of iron sulfides in the lab, adding elements often found in hot springs, like manganese, nickel, titanium, and cobalt. They simulated early ...

NANJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- A group of scientists led by Chinese researchers have uncovered the significance of iron sulfides in supporting the life origin hypothesis in early Earth's terrestrial hot ...

NANJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- A group of scientists led by Chinese researchers have uncovered the significance of iron sulfides in supporting the life origin hypothesis in early Earth's terrestrial ...

An international team of scientists recently published a study highlighting the potential role of iron sulfides in the formation of life in early Earth's terrestrial hot springs. According to the ...

Their experiments showed that these iron sulfides could catalyze the H 2-driven reduction of CO 2 at specific temperatures (80–120 °C) and atmospheric pressure. Gas chromatography was used to ...

Iron sulfide (FeS), which resembles cofactors in metabolic enzymes, may play a key role in catalyzing prebiotic synthesis. However, the specific role of FeS in carbon fixation under these conditions ...

A new study reveals iron sulfides in early Earth's hot springs catalyzed CO₂ reduction into organic molecules, potentially aiding life’s origins. Manganese doping enhanced catalytic activity, ...
