If you build engines, tune cars, or even just like mashing your foot on the throttle with conviction, you’ve probably heard ...

In chemistry, the chemical nomenclature of ionic and molecular compounds uses a systematic approach of prefixes to indicate ...

Microscopic ocean algae produce a huge share of Earth’s oxygen—but they need iron to do it. New field research shows that ...

By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions ...

You do not usually notice oxygen unless it is missing. It is just there when you wake up, when you step outside, when you ...

But a team of Chinese researchers has managed to turn sulfur’s complex chemistry into a strength, making it the primary ...

Rutgers University marine scientists are using New Jersey-developed tools to measure how iron shortages in Southern Ocean ...

Fire is a fundamental part of life on Earth. But what is it really? Science tells us it isn't matter at all, but a chemical ...

These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, catching a substance that usually hides behind the familiar H2O formula in the ...

Newly published interdisciplinary research led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and University of Maryland shows ...

You are taught early in science that oxygen on Earth comes from sunlight. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use light to split water and release oxygen, shaping the atmosphere and making complex life ...
