Iron and oxygen bind together throughout the body. Most famously, iron binds dioxygen, or two oxygens paired with each other, in hemoglobin that transports oxygen through blood. But iron-oxo compounds ...

Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater, revealing previously invisible details ...

Practically all of the ocean floor remains a mystery to humans, but robotic floats may soon change that shortcoming. In a ...

"Methane reforming" is a process that turns methane (CH4) into hydrogen—which can be utilized as an environmentally friendly ...

Research reveals ocean dead zones are dynamic systems, with shifting chemistry that affects nitrogen cycles, carbon storage, ...

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet’s earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow “Goldilocks zone” for two life-essential elements, ...

The Earth's deep interior may absorb more chemical oxygen than previously thought, revealing a new geological process ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
