Persistent pharmaceutical residues such as carbamazepine are increasingly detected in natural waters, posing long-term ecological and human health risks due to their resistance to conventional ...

While late M-stars are the easiest places to find Earth-sized planets, a new study suggests they are biological dead ends where animal life may never find enough fuel to evolve.

A research team led by Professor Chen Zhongqiang from the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in Hubei province has identified periodic oxygenation events in Earth's oceans dating back roughly 580 ...

You do not usually notice oxygen unless it is missing. It is just there when you wake up, when you step outside, when you ...

This study presents a highly efficient approach to solar hydrogen production by pairing water electrolysis with the selective oxidation of biomass-derived glucose. Central to this advance is a ...

New research shows how gold helps transform plant-based ethanol into useful industrial chemicals with fewer emissions and ...

The ice-melting substance is ubiquitous in many snowy areas. Smart salting is key to minimize its environmental impact ...

A new catalyst design could transform how acetaldehyde is made from renewable bioethanol. Researchers found that a carefully ...

The oxidation of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) deposited via fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition was characterized and compared with that of standard nuclear-grade graphite. The materials were heated at ...

Life on our planet goes back at least 3.7 billion years, and much of it started small. Researchers have studied microbial life in ancient rocks, but it has remained hard to place microbes on an exact ...
