We think of oxygen as life, sustenance, a literal breath of fresh air. But it's actually a very reactive element. Anyone who's burned a log has witnessed this firsthand. So why do so many life ...

Earth's lakes are experiencing an alarming drop in oxygen levels, new research shows. Similar trends have also been observed across rivers and seas. But some lakes are losing oxygen up to nine times ...

Using Solar Stik, Johnson said, the formation was able to stop running their generators around the clock. Instead, they ran them for six hours a day to charge a battery, which powered the ops ...

Oxygen therapy for COPD is a treatment used to increase the oxygen (O2) in your lungs and bloodstream. Research suggests that people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who use oxygen ...

Global warming is causing lakes to lose their oxygen 1. Oxygen is crucial for aquatic life to thrive. But levels of dissolved oxygen have declined in many watery environments, including rivers and ...

A newly developed process helps solve this problem: CO2 is directly split electrochemically into carbon and oxygen. Oxygen could also be produced in this way under water or in space -- without ...

Scientists were surprised to find oxygen there. ALMA (ESO / NAOJ / NRAO) / S. Carniani et al. / S. Schouws et al. / JWST: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Brant Robertson (UC Santa Cruz), Ben Johnson (CfA ...

This is what happened to me when I discovered a source of oxygen production in the deep sea – but ignored it for nine years. In 2013, I was conducting experiments to measure seafloor carbon cycling in ...
