A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found.
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 ...
Water molecules are 10,000 times more sensitive to ions than previously thought, new research shows. Water molecules are made up of one negatively charged oxygen atom and two positively charged ...
The book “Oxygen atom transfer reactions” is the first volume of the newly created book series Chemical Reaction Mechanisms at the Bentham Science publishing house. The first two volumes of ...
For example, water (H2O) is a covalent compound formed from the reaction between two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The electronegativity of oxygen is higher than that of hydrogen, so ...
By putting a carbon atom in place of a core oxygen, chemists constructed an opioid that blocks pain with less respiratory ...
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 ...
Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though ...
The TU Wien researchers say the oxygen-ion batteries work at high temperatures of between 200 and 400 degrees Celsius (390-750 degrees Fahrenheit), which makes them impractical for mobile devices ...
An oxygen-ion battery also has promise as part of a green energy grid because it would be less delicate than lithium-ion cells. The team says this new battery can operate normally at 200-400 ...
Ceramic oxygen-ion batteries aren’t made from any materials that damage the planet in their extraction, they are completely flame-resistant (so no surprise fire), and they don’t degrade.
