Ancient microbes tied to our earliest ancestors could use oxygen, reshaping ideas about how complex life began on Earth.

NASA's Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project has completed an important step toward using local resources to support human exploration on the moon. The CaRD team performed integrated ...

Chemists, when they are designing or building new molecules, can be thought of as architects and builders. An organic chemist can plan a blueprint for a new molecule, and synthesize it with precision ...

ODF designed an automated titration system and LabView software for the determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater that can be used both onshore and at sea. Contact Susan Becker for details and ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising source of oxygen on the deep ocean floor, challenging the long-held belief that sunlight is essential for its production. Research in the Pacific's ...

The people at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History were nice enough to give a couple members of the Chemistry in Pictures team a behind-the-scenes look at their mineral ...

New research from ETH Zurich challenges the long-held “follow the water” rule in the search for extraterrestrial life. Scientists argue that a planet’s habitability depends on a narrow chemical ...
