In a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park, a microbe does something that life shouldn’t be able to do: It breathes oxygen ...

Scientists know that biological oxygen molecule production left a big mark on Earth starting about 2.4 billion years ago, after what is often called the Great Oxidation Event.

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the ...

A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found.

A recent analysis finds up to 1,000 times more molecular oxygen than can be explained by prevailing theories about where it comes from. Jupiter's Moon Callisto Has a Whole Lot of Oxygen Scientists ...

Oxygen-rich atmospheres that permit open-air combustion are vital for technological development, ... the molecular oxygen abundance in our planet's atmosphere began to dramatically rise.

MOXIE creates molecular oxygen in an electromagnetic process. NASA says that this process divides an oxygen atom from each carbon dioxide molecule in Mars's atmosphere.

Earth Oxygen on early Earth may have come from quartz crushed by earthquakes. Billions of years ago, crushed quartz reacting with water could have created the conditions needed for the evolution ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A perovskite-based catalyst, SrMn 1-x Ru x O 3, enables selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones using molecular oxygen at 30°C with 99% selectivity ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists from Japan have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen—close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the ...
