From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used ...

Unfortunately, there isn't an enzyme for many reactions we would sorely like to catalyze—things like digesting plastics or ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford ...

Just about everyone knows that water is H2O, meaning two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. What might surprise people is that scientists have never before been able to actually watch hydrogen ...

When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the protons in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The ...

In one molecule of water, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Particle diagrams can also show the ratio of atoms of each element in a compound which in turn can tell us the formula o ...

The electron cloud model shows that electrons are not shared equally in the water molecule. Electrons are a bit more attracted to the oxygen atom than they are to the hydrogen atoms. This makes the ...

Researchers at Leipzig University have developed a new process for reversing the polarity of chemical compounds, also known as umpolung, for the precise synthesis of pharmaceuticals. This innovative ...

A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell.

In one molecule of water, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Particle diagrams can also show the ratio of atoms of each element in a compound which in turn can tell us the formula o ...
