Did a rare chemical fluke make life on Earth possible?
Life on Earth rests on a knife-edge of chemistry that could easily have tipped the other way. As geochemists reconstruct the planet’s birth, they are finding that a narrow band of oxygen conditions ...
The new plot twist is that in order to keep enough nitrogen and phosphorus near its surface, a planet has to start out with ...
Ancient enzymes show life’s nitrogen signal stayed unchanged for billions of years, helping scientists read early Earth.
The aim of the book “Oxygen atom transfer reactions” is to outline some recent developments in the studies of oxygen atom transfer mechanisms in catalytic oxidation reactions based on several ...
