New York Yankee Brett Gardner, has experts warning about carbon monoxide dangers amid speculations. The teen died while on vacation in Costa Rica.
Skoltech researchers have theoretically investigated the wide range of molecules that oxygen and carbon atoms can form in addition to the well-known carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Compounds of oxygen and carbon are of interest for space research,
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that takes hundreds of lives each year, and makes even more people sick — but there are steps you can take to help keep yourself and your family safe.
Miller Gardner, the 14-year-old son of former New York Yankees player Aaron Gardner, died of carbon monoxide poisoning, Costa Rican authorities confirmed to the Associated Press on April 2.
Researchers develop a nickel catalyst that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 99% selectivity by precisely tuning the electronic structure of the nickel atoms.
