EUGENE, Ore. — In a potential breakthrough for one of the world's most carbon-intensive industries, researchers at the University of Oregon have developed a cleaner method for producing iron, an ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

University of Oregon chemists are bringing a greener way to make iron metal for steel production closer to reality, a step towards cleaning up an industry that’s one of the biggest contributors to ...
