Ancient microbes tied to our earliest ancestors could use oxygen, reshaping ideas about how complex life began on Earth.

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 ...

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

The film discusses the evolution of chemistry from alchemy, highlighting key figures like Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier. It explains significant experiments that led to the discovery of ...

Did you know that the deep ocean can produce oxygen without the need of solar light nor photosynthesis? According to a study ...

Cyanobacteria, as they still exist today, were the first organisms to carry out photosynthesis and release oxygen. Produced in primeval oceans about 2.5 billion years ago, this oxygen accumulated in ...

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 ...

Liquid nitrogen isn’t exactly an everyday material, but it’s acquired conveniently enough to be used in extreme overclocking experiments, classroom demonstrations, chemistry and physics ...

The people at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History were nice enough to give a couple members of the Chemistry in Pictures team a behind-the-scenes look at their mineral ...

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 ...
