Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only ...

Explore the history of life on Earth, from 3.5-billion-year-old fossils to the vast diversity of species on our planet today.

University of Birmingham research published today has shown a new low-temperature method for producing hydrogen that is suitable for both centralised hydrogen production, and also local generation ...

Researchers directly observed bulk oxygen spillover in catalysts for the first time, revealing that a catalyst's interior can actively contribute to chemical reactions. (Nanowerk News) Recently, a ...

A recent study has for the first time systematically identified multiple nitrogen-bearing organic species on the surfaces of lunar soil grains returned by China's Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 missions. The ...

Water drawn from a living Equisetum plant, called horsetail, has registered the most extreme oxygen isotope signature ever ...

Space travel has always had a luggage problem. If you want to breathe, drink, or move on the Moon, you have to bring every molecule of it with you from Earth. NASA’s latest testing indicates a shift ...

Joan Walker is a conservation scientist at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. She uses techniques like X-ray fluorescence and vibrational spectroscopy to study many art forms, from ...

How did we get here? That has to be humanity’s most fundamental question that, so far, has no clear answer. The first step in solving this puzzle is to figure out the origin of life’s ingredients, ...

Researchers developed a crystal that inhales and exhales oxygen like lungs. It stays stable under real-world conditions and can be reused many times, making it ideal for energy and electronic ...

In space, bubble trouble hampers oxygen production needed for astronauts to breathe. But neodymium magnets could coax bubbles off electrodes in microgravity to boost the efficiency of splitting water ...
