  5. "This study provides insights into the mechanistic links between inflammation and oxidative stress to pollutant particle-induced AD pathologies, with #magnetite apparently inducing the most pathological effects. No exacerbation of the effects was observed in the AD-predisposed model when compared to the wild-type, indicating a particle-induced #neurodegeneration that is independent of disease state."

  6. #Sustainability tip: if you have a (stainless) #steel or #iron object with #rust (brown, Fe2O3) on it, you can lengthen its lifespan by boiling it in regular #water. This will slowly turn the rust into black iron #oxide (Fe3O4), also known as #magnetite. Fe3O4 does not expand and flake like rust, so this slows down the decay of your tool. This is one of the processes known as #bluing.

    I tried this with a few rusty household objects and it really worked!

  7. My favorite rock is #BandedIronFormation, a sedimentary rock comprised of thin bands of #Magnetite and #Hematite interlaced with (usually) reddish #jasper (chert #quartz). It's beautiful, primarily down to #TeamQuartz. Sadly, neither hematite or magnetite are in #MinCup23 Vote for quartz here: mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns/

  8. @MineralCup I feel personally assaulted that #tourmaline, #beryl, #barite, and even #spodumene and #selenite the largest crystals in the world, aren't in this bracket. These are badass minerals.
    I don't think #mercury is even a #mineral. It's just an #element.
    And no #hematite or #magnetite? People are just showing off. #bischofite? Girl, please. #shitpostingwithlove
