Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

Molecular vanadium cluster on carbon nanotubes switches between oxygen and hydrogen production in acid, depending on assembly ...

One broken piece of quartz in a physics lab could shed light on the history of life on Earth and the search for other habitable worlds. Today, most life as we know it depends on oxygen. Specifically, ...

The European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft saw material and gases — including oxygen — erupt off the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Space is an inhospitable place. For now, when ...

A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell. Initial research ...

The meteorites were from the Martian surface. A robot chemist has synthesised compounds that could be used to generate oxygen from water. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the robot analysed ...
