For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, ...

The oxidative power makes atomic oxygen useful for a number of fields and industries, but scientists don’t know all the ...

TL;DR: Researchers from Northwestern University have observed the formation of a water molecule on the nanoscale for the first time. Using palladium to catalyze the reaction, they witnessed hydrogen ...

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, ...

Every living thing on Earth depends on water, but why is that? Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor Nicholas Borotto studies biochemistry, and explains why water is an important molecule for ...

Textbook models will need to be re-drawn after a team of researchers found that water molecules at the surface of salt water are organised differently than previously thought. Textbook models will ...

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 carbon ...
