Last time I posted I told you about why oxygen is a great terminal electron acceptor in aerobic (oxygen-using) organisms. It is very electron hungry, meaning it releases large amounts of energy when ...

Oxygen, the third most abundant element in the cosmos and essential to life on Earth, changes its forms dramatically under pressure transforming to a solid with spectacular colors. Eventually it ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory helped measure how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on ...

The strongly basic sites on BaTiO 3−x N y catalysts are attributed to the presence of surface nitride ions and oxygen vacancies. Basic oxide catalysts contain oxygen ions with unpaired electrons that ...
