The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ambitious campaign to include a series of historic firsts, among which ...

Even the most powerful telescopes have not yet been able to see far enough back in time to witness events from the Big Bang.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first ...

The oxygen it uses for energy storage might be lost in secondary reactions, but adding more from the air is simple and ensures that oxygen-ion batteries will last basically forever.

Tell students that the oxygen atom attracts electrons a little more strongly than hydrogen does. So even though the electrons from each atom are attracted by both the oxygen and the hydrogen, the ...

The aim of the book “ Oxygen atom transfer reactions” is to outline some recent developments in the studies of oxygen atom transfer mechanisms in catalytic oxidation reactions based on several ...

Relying on renewable energy means increasing storage capacity, and oxygen-ion batteries could be the solution.

Researchers from Austria have invented a new kind of battery called an oxygen-ion battery. The battery is greener, longer lasting, and less flammable than the current near-ubiquitous lithium-ion ...

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, is entering exciting new territory. For the first time ever, the LHC is smashing together protons and oxygen ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece ...

The oxygen-ion battery, a new type of battery , can be extremely durable, does not require rare elements and solves the problem of fire hazards.

There are three types of bonds in chemistry: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. In this article, we will look at the differences between ionic and covalent bonds.
