Minnesota iron ore could be key to sustainable and lower cost semiconductor

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have demonstrated that the low-purity iron ore prevalent in Minnesota can be used to create semiconductor-quality iron sulfide, also known as "fool's gold" or pyrite. This discovery could have cost-effective and sustainable applications in future electronic devices and other technologies.
