Our bodies need oxygen to survive, just like many other organisms. Oxygen molecules are used to create a molecular fuel called ATP for our cells in an organelle called the mitochondria; this process ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...

Colorado State University chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They’ve helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen ...

If you are talking to a scientist, you might expect them to discuss studies or research or any number of other scientific things. What would you think if they started talking about magic numbers and ...
