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

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 ...

A robotic float drifting through the oxygen-starved waters of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific has recorded a nearly ...

Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater, revealing previously invisible details ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

ODF designed an automated titration system and LabView software for the determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater that can be used both onshore and at sea. Contact Susan Becker for details and ...

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 ...
