A new study reveals an unexpected pathway in catalytic systems, where oxygen does not remain confined to surfaces but can ...

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 ...

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen ...

A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to make molecular oxygen (O2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) -- no green plants involved. Their findings could alter our understanding of the Earth’s early atmosphere ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earth formed within such a precise “Goldilocks zone” for oxygen that a 5% change would have prevented life from emerging.

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 ...

"Hidden" oxygen may be released from dust grains and ice in star-forming regions One of astronomy's longest-running "missing persons" investigations has concluded: astronomers have found molecular ...
