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 ...

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

Photodynamic treatment of cancer is based on administering an initially inactive substance that is only activated in the ...

Photosynthetic bacteria do not release oxygen during photosynthesis but can convert solar energy into chemical energy with ...

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

Researchers have found that Mercury's low-iron, high-sulfur chemistry allows its magma to stay liquid at lower temperatures ...

Researchers directly observed tetroxides for the first time, showing they exist in normal air conditions and play key roles ...

Practically all of the ocean floor remains a mystery to humans, but robotic floats may soon change that shortcoming. In a ...

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements, ...

Biologists have revealed a mechanism by which bacterial cells in crowded, oxygen-deprived environments access oxygen for energy production, ensuring survival of the cell. The finding could explain how ...
