In a number of biological processes, iron-sulfur clusters play a vital role, where they act as cofactors to enzymes. Research now shows that cubic clusters can support unusual bonding states. This ...

An international team of scientists led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy from the University of Vienna has discovered a new microbial metabolism: so-called MISO bacteria "breathe" ...

Technical Terms Iron–sulfur cluster: A cofactor comprised of iron and sulphur atoms, essential for various enzymatic and electron transfer processes.

New research based on an iron and sulphur mixture mirroring the Red Planet’s inner core suggests that Mars’ deep interior could be solid, like Earth.

They found that a single gene involved in the production of iron-sulphur clusters could be crucial for the persistence of the TB bacterium. The study was published in Science Advances.

An important constituent of the asteroid is the mineral troilite, in which iron and sulphur are bound.

Big Iron Farm Show demonstration will show the potential of artificial intelligence and robotics in ag Dr. Rex Sun and his team from North Dakota State University will have a "weedbot" that ...

One theory is that it forms tiny inclusions—nanonuggets, so to speak. Another is that it is integrated, atom by atom, within the crystal, thus forming a kind of iron-sulphur-gold alloy.
