Engineers forge greener path to iron production

Hate to tell them but to the best of my knowlege molten iron is not magnetic. Therefore unless I am missing something the lead photo is mislabeled. About par for the course for the ad mad folks at physorg…

The concept of using molten oxide electrolysis to produce iron is very interesting, especially as it doen’t produce carbon as a byproduct. Cudos to MIT for this groundbreaking work.
