Skoltech researchers have theoretically investigated the wide range of molecules that oxygen and carbon atoms can form in ...

A fascinating aspect of nitrogenase is that it operates only in the absence of oxygen and requires lots of energy to break the inert triple bond of the nitrogen gas molecule. To allow nitrogenase ...

Graphical abstract of the Skoltech study showing some of the possible carbon oxides in the range probed by the researchers: ...

New research suggests “microlightning” exchanges among water droplets in Earth’s early atmosphere may have sparked the ...

The dot and cross diagram shows that a water molecule is made up of one oxygen atom joined to two hydrogen atoms, so the formula of water is H 2 O. A nitrogen molecule is made up of two nitrogen ...

Researchers develop a nickel catalyst that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 99% selectivity by precisely ...

The nitrogen and oxygen that you are breathing right now are made up of very small particles called molecules. A molecule of nitrogen or oxygen is really, really small. Each molecule is only about ...

Kilometers above the Earth’s surface, the ozone layer protects humanity and all life from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

Have you ever wondered how clouds stay in the sky? Here's your answer, and by the way, the weight of an actual cloud might ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...
