For the first time, astronomers have found molecular oxygen — the same gas humans need to breathe — in a galaxy outside the Milky Way. Oxygen is the third most common element in the cosmos, after ...

For the first time in history, breathable oxygen from another galaxy -- aside from Milky Way that has our Solar System -- is now discovered by scientists. It has the same structure and elements just ...

Using computer simulations, researchers have shown that the oxygen molecule (O₂) is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen million times higher than atmosphere ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 210, No. 1101 (Dec. 20, 1951), pp. 224-245 (22 pages) Energies of excitation of different electronic ...

Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania, have developed new organic compounds that act as highly sensitive oxygen sensors. These sensors can accurately detect even the ...

RICHLAND, Wash. -- Like two ballroom dancers waltzing together, the two atoms of an oxygen molecule severed by a metal catalyst usually behave identically. But new research reveals that on a ...

Reactive molecular oxygen singlets have a multitude of uses in chemistry and medicine, but they are less abundant than non-reactive oxygen triplets. A multinational research team has developed a novel ...

Scientists have found that molecular oxygen around comet 67P is not produced on its surface, as some suggested, but may be from its body. The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft escorted comet ...

Oxygen saturation is a measure of the amount of hemoglobin that is bound to molecular oxygen at a given time point. It is an important parameter for managing patients in a clinical setup. Oxygen ...
