Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden are marking five decades together with a new documentary that puts their devoted fans at the heart of the story. The film celebrates how connection and community, not fame or fortune, drove one of rock's hardest-working bands to global success.
Scientists in Japan have discovered that simple iron supplements can significantly improve muscle strength in mice with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, offering hope for thousands of patients with no current treatment options. The breakthrough works by correcting iron imbalances in muscle tissue, not by fixing the underlying genetic cause.
Feeling foggy, tired, or scattered lately? New research shows iron deficiency might be draining your brain power, but there's a simple fix.
Scientists discovered that iron powder can store renewable energy for months and work in converted coal plants. This breakthrough could make wind and solar power available worldwide without building massive new infrastructure.
Archaeologists in Yorkshire unearthed Britain's first evidence of four-wheeled wagons from the Iron Age, transforming our understanding of ancient transportation. The massive 950-item treasure trove reveals that northern British communities were far wealthier and more sophisticated than previously believed.
A Dutch company has figured out how to burn powdered iron to create zero-emission energy powerful enough to run factories and rockets. The only byproduct is rust that can be recycled back into fuel.
A metal detector user in Yorkshire discovered Britain's largest Iron Age treasure trove, now revealing evidence of the island's first 4-horse carriage and challenging assumptions about ancient northern England's wealth. After five years of study, the remarkable finds go on display for the first time at the Yorkshire Museum.
Japan just took a major step toward gender equality by approving a plan that could let people legally use their maiden names without adding their married surname. The five-year plan, championed by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, aims to expand choices for millions of Japanese citizens.
Archaeologists near Dornoch, Scotland, uncovered a 2,000-year-old stone-lined pit containing a skeleton, animal bones, and ancient artifacts. The mysterious structure has experts puzzled but excited about what it reveals of Iron Age life.
Archaeologists in Denmark have discovered a massive pagan temple from the time of Christ, revealing a lost Iron Age society that wielded extraordinary military, economic, and religious power. The find at Hedegård includes a fortified settlement filled with luxury goods from across Europe and the Middle East.
Researchers discovered that iron released in the lungs triggers the inflammatory chain reaction behind allergic asthma, which affects 17 million Americans. Blocking this iron pathway stopped asthma symptoms in mice, opening the door to new treatments.
Workers building a coastal road in Oman stopped construction after discovering ancient graves revealing how people lived and died 3,000 years ago. The find offers rare insights into Iron Age burial traditions along a route that once connected major ancient civilizations.

Pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau is taking DIY to a whole new level at the Masters, playing with a 5-iron he designed and 3D-printed himself. The "Mad Scientist" of golf just proved that innovation knows no limits.
Researchers in Japan just made breakthrough chemistry cheaper and more sustainable using ordinary iron instead of rare metals. The new catalyst could transform how we make medicines while cutting costs dramatically.
Chinese scientists developed an ultra-cheap iron battery that could solve one of clean energy's biggest problems: storing power from solar and wind farms. The breakthrough technology costs a fraction of lithium batteries and lasts for thousands of charge cycles.
Scientists at Oregon State University created a tiny iron-based material that completely wiped out breast cancer in mice without any side effects. The treatment uses cancer's own chemistry against itself, unleashing two powerful reactions that destroy tumors while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
Engineers just solved a decades-old problem that's kept hydrogen fuel cell cars out of reach for most families. By stabilizing affordable iron to replace expensive platinum, they're paving the way for clean vehicles that don't break the bank.
Scientists discovered that phytoplankton, the tiny algae producing much of Earth's oxygen, rely on trace amounts of iron to photosynthesize. Without this microscopic nutrient, the ocean's entire food chain suffers.
Scientists found a massive bar of iron lurking inside the iconic Ring Nebula, spanning 500 times the width of Pluto's orbit. The discovery could reveal secrets about dying stars or possibly the remains of a vaporized planet.
