A molecule that transports oxygen in blood could be key to developing the next generation of batteries, and in a way that’s environmentally friendly. Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have emerged in ...

Using computer simulations, researchers have shown that the oxygen molecule (O₂) is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen million times higher than atmosphere ...

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, ...

What’s the News: For the first time, astronomers have found molecular oxygen, which makes up about 20 percent of our air on Earth, in space. Using the large telescope aboard the Herschel Space ...

I think about oxygen a lot more than I used to. This is because I am studying a chemical defense that turns ordinary oxygen, the same old stuff we obtain from breathing air – the same stuff that is ...

Photodynamic treatment of cancer is based on administering an initially inactive substance that is only activated in the ...

Why does your favorite T-shirt fade over time in the sun? Why do you get sunburn and why does autumn herald with brown leaves? These questions all have one thing in common: the interplay between dye ...

For the first time in history, breathable oxygen from another galaxy -- aside from Milky Way that has our Solar System -- is now discovered by scientists. It has the same structure and elements just ...

There are many levels at which a scientific question can be answered. An answer that is quite satisfying to a scientist from one discipline may be totally unsatisfactory to a scientist from another.
