The phenomenon of 'dark oxygen,' whereby deep-sea metallic nodules generate oxygen without sunlight, is reshaping our ...

When rock salt is used on our sidewalks and roads, there is science happening at the molecular level. Dr. Xavier Prat-Resina ...

The company says preclinical trials demonstrate its signature molecule can help prevent cell damage that can lead to ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are a major contributor to the climate crisis, and while the world works to reduce emissions, ...

Merced’s Wastewater Treatment Plant plays a vital role in protecting the environment as well as humans as treated water and ...

For example, when a plant is damaged in some way and too much oxygen enters its cells, it accumulates MEcPP. This molecule then triggers protective responses within the plant. The researchers ...

With the strong associations established in epidemiologic studies and a dearth of evidence on the actual mechanisms by which ...

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

Through a series of chemical reactions, the microbes were able to break down soluble compounds called nitrites, molecules made of one nitrogen and two oxygen atoms, to produce molecular oxygen in ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result.
