A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells require ...

This time, we studied how three different types of atoms–absorb light from the star: hydrogen, sodium and iron (all in a ...

Humans have been chemically modifying their world for far longer than you might think. Long before they had the slightest idea of what was happening chemically, they were turning clay into bricks, ...

Zeolites, crystalline materials widely used in the petrochemical industry, serve as pivotal catalysts in the production of ...

This month, chemists have announced an exciting alternative that relies on an organic, high-energy cathode material to make sodium-ion batteries, advancing the likelihood that this technology will ...

This study makes the fundamental discovery of the first natural animal rhodopsin that uses a chloride ion instead of an amino acid side chain as a counterion. Using a combination of biochemical and ...

Imagine being able to generate and customize diagrams, like pie charts, with just a few simple prompts—no extra software, no steep learning curve. This new feature, still in its beta phase ...
