Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature's crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it ...

Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State has ...

The selective oxidation of C--H bonds using oxygen has become a much simpler and more sustainable endeavor, thanks to a novel manganese (Mn)-based catalyst. Consisting of reusable Mg6MnO8 ...

Chemical engineers have developed a machine-learning model that can predict a compound's oxidation state, a property that is so essential that many chemists argue it must be included in the periodic ...

It may have been unexpectedly easy for the air to become rich in oxygen. A new simulation of the rise of oxygen suggests that it was driven by the planet itself, and needed little help from living ...
