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…
