Chemical reactions that produce pollutants in the atmosphere, and the chemistry of fuel combustion inside a vehicle engine, have some striking similarities. For each set of reactions, oxygen's role is ...

A prehistoric Equisetum horsetail plant that survived 400 million years produces oxygen isotopes and water with an extreme ...

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 ...

Science fiction stories are chock full of terraforming schemes and oxygen generators for a very good reason—we humans need molecular oxygen (O 2) to breathe, and space is essentially devoid of it.

A hidden mineral trap in ancient ocean sediments may have starved early marine life of phosphorus, the nutrient most critical ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, catching a substance that usually hides behind the familiar H 2 O formula in ...

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 ...

Chemists, when they are designing or building new molecules, can be thought of as architects and builders. An organic chemist can plan a blueprint for a new molecule, and synthesize it with precision ...

ODF designed an automated titration system and LabView software for the determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater that can be used both onshore and at sea. Contact Susan Becker for details and ...
