“…The magnetization in agglomerated magnetite is more sensitive to temperature than the smaller individual dispersed particles. [16][17][18] The present study, therefore, investigates the natural MNAs and compares their characteristics with reference magnetite and synthesized MNAs through laboratory experiments. The results underline the use of MNAs as a potential indicator of geological environment in which the iron ore was deposited and, provide a possible nature inspired methodology for preparation of MNAs for societal use.…”
We investigate the origin of the magnetite nanoparticle aggregates (MNAs) from the Peña Colorada iron-ore mining district (Mexico) to devise a nature inspired synthesis process.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
