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 ...

Singlet oxygen can be damaging in both cells and batteries but it has taken almost 60 years to work out exactly when it shows ...

Researchers from the Freunberger group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have unveiled pivotal ...

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, ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the structure ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...

If you are talking to a scientist, you might expect them to discuss studies or research or any number of other scientific ...

A study from Rice University, published in PRX Quantum, has found that energy transfers more quickly between molecular sites ...

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.
