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 ...

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

Researchers from North Carolina State University have successfully synthesized bacteriochlorophyll a, which is a ...

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 ...

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

If you've been in the market for a new hair dryer, you've likely seen advertising for ionic ones. Some claim to produce ...

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

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 ...

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

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