Polish scientists ‘season’ magnetite to create glow-in-the-dark, antimicrobial material
Scientists in Poland have discovered a way to give a familiar mineral new talents by “seasoning” it. A team at the University of Białystok has been experimenting with magnetite, a cheap and well-known iron oxide, by adding tiny amounts of metals to create materials that can glow and slow the growth of bacteria and fungi.
