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 ...

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 ...

This creates a very strong electric field near the outlet where the hot air is blowing. It sends electrons into the ...

Hydrogen peroxide, a versatile chemical used in a wide range of applications—from medical disinfectants to semiconductor ...

Blue Origin has successfully extracted oxygen from Moon-like soil in lab tests, a significant step for sustained lunar ...

Sulfur on Mercury was as important to the planet's formation as oxygen was to Earth's evolution, the study suggests.

When methylone was finally banned in 2011, unregulated chemists simply tweaked the molecule to evade the ban, creating new ...

For many Finger Lakes residents, the summer season brings a familiar and frustrating anxiety. You look out at the water, and ...

A research team led by Profs. BAO Xinhe and GAO Dunfeng from the Dalian Instituteof Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel strategy fordirect electrocatalytic ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens, or “ore-forming” elements. While sulfur is widely recognized for its role ...

Some animals can regrow lost body parts. Salamanders and frog tadpoles can rebuild entire limbs after amputation. Mammals cannot. For decades, biologists have tried to understand why. Now a team led ...
