Discover the connection between volcanic events and the rise of Earth's oxygen levels that enabled complex life to thrive.

Dark oxygen is not a new element but a previously undetected state of oxygen atoms. Researchers found that under extreme conditions, oxygen molecules can transform into an elusive phase, altering ...

A breakthrough in heavy-element chemistry shatters long-held assumptions about transuranium elements. Researchers have ...

Oxygen is essential for life and a reactive player in many chemical processes. Accordingly, methods that accurately measure ...

Scientists found that volcanic eruptions triggered short-lived oxygen spikes before Earth's air became breathable.

German chemists have created the first-ever boron-carbon triple bond which opens new possibilities for molecular innovation.

Water might have formed much earlier than previously thought. Computer simulations show supernovae produced significant ...

It is widely believed that Earth’s atmosphere has been rich in oxygen for about 2.5 billion years due to a relatively rapid ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar ...

“Before the first stars exploded, there was no water in the Universe because there was no oxygen. Only very simple nuclei ...

The occurrences are inferred from concentrations of elements sensitive to atmospheric oxygen levels in the geologic record," said visiting research associate Yasuto Watanabe. "The biggest ...
