At pressures above 10 GPa, iron is known to transform to a non-magnetic structure1,2 and the possibility of superconductivity in this state has been predicted3,4.

Magnetic: Since most meteorites contain metallic iron, a magnet will often stick to them. For “stony” meteorites, a magnet might not stick, but if you hang the magnet by a string, it will be ...

At times, the fall of a meteorite is noticed, and it can, for example, make a thump on the roof of a building. Stony meteorites are made up primarily of silicate minerals, whereas iron meteorites ...

Ancient magnets have been studied by space scientists researching the magnetic field of the Bishunpur meteorite, providing clues to how the solar system formed.

Astronomers: Let’s Use a Mattress-Sized Magnet to Fish a Meteorite From the Ocean Eight years ago, CNEOS 2014-01-08 tore through Earth’s atmosphere at over 100,000 miles per hour.

A small fragment of the Campo del Cielo iron meteorite. The same intense heat that partially melted the meteorite to produce the smooth surface visible here would have also evaporated and ablated iron ...

Meteorite crater discovered in French winery Date: February 22, 2023 Source: Goethe University Frankfurt Summary: Countless meteorites have struck Earth in the past and shaped the history of our ...

Spanish researchers have discovered that two 3,000-year-old iron artifacts were made from meteorite iron.

"Most meteorites contain enough iron that they will stick to the type of magnet we plan on using for the ocean expedition," he said.
