White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such ...

Measurements of this interstellar comet’s molecular makeup show an excess of heavy water molecules that is dramatically ...

In a recent opinion article, marine scientists and electrochemists listed a number of reasons why it's unlikely that metallic nodules on the deep seafloor could produce oxygen in total darkness. When ...

Dartmouth researchers have developed a cell phone-based tool that monitors tissue health by using a naturally occurring molecule to measure the oxygen level in cells. The tool could provide a simple ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

"Any time the cells or the reagents are outside of the special low oxygen incubator, they are exposed to 20 percent oxygen which can change the molecular environment within minutes," says Alexander ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the structure ...

Sulfones, a class of sulfur-containing compounds, are chemically derived from the selective oxidation of sulfides. While these compounds form the core of the pharmaceuticals, solvents and polymer ...
