An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which ...

When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished. For a long time, there has been controversy about how this looks like on a ...

New research suggests tiny electrical charges in water droplets could have fueled the chemical reactions that led to life.

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to potential CO₂ removal from exhaust emissions. Animals, plants, and many other livi ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

This article provides an overview of PFAS, including their chemical properties, health effects and regulatory limits. It also ...

To be awarded an official English Heritage plaque, the proposed recipient (nominated by members of the public) must have died at least 20 years ago and will only be awarded a plaque if there is a ...

Electron transfer is a process by which an electron moves from one atom ... anion-water clusters and show how water molecules drive the separation of the excess electron from a parent molecule.

For example, the formula H 2 O shows that a water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

France has uncovered 46 million tons of natural hydrogen beneath the soil of Folschviller, potentially revolutionizing clean ...
