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 ...
For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...
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 ...
Earthquakes and other geological processes may have enabled oxygen-producing reactions that shaped the evolution of some of Earth’s earliest organisms. Today, oxygen makes up around a fifth of Earth’s ...
