The new plot twist is that in order to keep enough nitrogen and phosphorus near its surface, a planet has to start out with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oxygen fills the air today, but for most of Earth’s early history it barely existed. Scientists say the atmosphere did not hold steady oxygen until about 2.

The film discusses the evolution of chemistry from alchemy, highlighting key figures like Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier. It explains significant experiments that led to the discovery of ...

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 ...

The people at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History were nice enough to give a couple members of the Chemistry in Pictures team a behind-the-scenes look at their mineral ...

About once every decade, the Oxygen Healing myth bubbles to the surface again. Loosely speaking, it claims that all diseases are caused by low levels of oxygen in the body. If you buy brand X or Y or ...
