A new approach reveals unexpected ways oxygen can bind to rare metals. Iron plays a central role in how the body uses oxygen. In hemoglobin, it binds dioxygen, a pair of oxygen atoms, allowing blood ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens, or “ore-forming” elements. While sulfur is widely recognized for its role ...

Vaporizing marijuana releases far fewer harmful chemicals than smoking joints does, according to a new study. “These results ...

Many bioactive molecules used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics contain enantiomers, which are structural isomers that exist ...

Perseverance found the minerals in an ancient river channel, but researchers say geology may still beat biology ...

Sulfur on Mercury was as important to the planet's formation as oxygen was to Earth's evolution, the study suggests.

Researchers accidentally formed gold hydride under extreme pressure, revealing that gold is actually a "reactive metal." ...

Prof. Sangwon Seo’s team successfully achieved enantioselective synthesis, selectively producing only the desired ...

Compound libraries form a foundational element of modern drug discovery—the process of identifying new chemical or biological compounds that can become safe and effective medicines. Compound libraries ...

Las Vegas has quietly emerged as one of the fastest growing cities in the western United States for small business ...

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 ...
