Even a small cloud can weigh as much as four tonnes – but gravity, chemistry and temperature keep them floating in the sky.
It is possible to split water into oxygen and hydrogen gas in zero gravity using sunlight, shows new study.
While acclimatising is more important, here’s the training you should undertake to go mountain-climbing.
You can’t know how altitude will affect you until you’re up there. Here’s why people have different reactions to less atmospheric oxygen.
The students of class 3F at Ferny Grove State School want to know how they get oxygen into the International Space Station.
It’s like one great big distillery up there.
Health benefits of being close to nature are well established, but the rise of apartment living means we can’t always be close to greenery.
Why finding molecular oxygen on comet 67P is a really big deal.
The world’s oceans are plagued with the problem of “dead zones”, areas of high nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) in which plankton blooms cause a major reduction of oxygen levels in the water…
Yawning acts to cool the brain, according to a new study. Researchers recorded yawning habits of people in Vienna, Austria…
How long has Earth’s atmosphere included oxygen? A recent paper suggests low levels of oxygen appeared in the atmosphere approximately 2.95 billion years ago. That’s about 550 million years earlier than…
Researchers have discovered a new way to stabilise haemoglobin, the oxygen carrier protein in the blood. Researchers wrapped…
A technique using the power of sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen has been developed by researchers. The development…
