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

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 ...

Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

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

Recently, a research team led by Prof. ZHANG Tao, Prof. HUANG Yanqiang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) ...

A robotic float drifting through the oxygen-starved waters of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific has recorded a nearly three-year chemical record that challenges assumptions about how nitrogen cycles ...

For decades, scientists have taught that most oxygen in Earth’s oceans is produced through photosynthesis, a process in which plants and microscopic algae use sunlight to split water molecules and ...

Research reveals ocean dead zones are dynamic systems, with shifting chemistry that affects nitrogen cycles, carbon storage, ...
