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 ...

For the first time, astronomers have found molecular oxygen — the same gas humans need to breathe — in a galaxy outside the Milky Way. Oxygen is the third most common element in the cosmos, after ...

Researchers at Kyushu University and Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a new computational model that can simulate ...

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 ...

Our bodies need oxygen to survive, just like many other organisms. Oxygen molecules are used to create a molecular fuel called ATP for our cells in an organelle called the mitochondria; this process ...

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

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 ...

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

Earth's shallow ocean contained oxygen earlier than expected, rewriting the history of the origin of life during the "Boring ...

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 ...
