By virtue of its triple bond, acetylene burns hotter than any other common hydrocarbon when mixed with oxygen, but it isn’t the only flame hot enough for welding. With the …read more Continue reading Welding with Natural Gas and Oxygen
In an Earth-sized take on the age-old ‘correlation or causality’ question, researchers have come across a fascinating match between Earth’s magnetic field and its oxygen levels since the Cambrian explosion, …read more Continue reading Earth’s Oxygen Levels and Magnetic Field Strength Show Strong Correlation
Normally, videos over at The Signal Path channel on YouTube have a certain vibe, namely teardowns and deep dives into high-end test equipment for the microwave realm. And while we …read more Continue reading Making Liquid Oxygen: Far From Easy but Worth the Effort
We all know the equation – hydrogen plus oxygen equals water. But now scientists have captured molecular-scale video of that famous meeting in action, which could lead to a new way to generate large amounts of drinking water.Continue ReadingCategory: S… Continue reading Watch: First nanoscale video of hydrogen and oxygen atoms forming water
Let’s be honest: long-haul flights are horrible. Screaming babies, other passengers moving about, and meal trolleys rolling up and down the aisles make sleep difficult, if not impossible. For many passengers, the only relief they have on a long-haul fl… Continue reading Inflight drinks on long-haul flights increase risk to heart health
Scientists have discovered the potential existence of a bizarre new molecule related to water. Dubbed “aquodiium,” this ion could form under extreme conditions and may explain some of the weirdness of our solar system’s ice giant planets.Continue Readi… Continue reading Alien ion of water may explain why Uranus is so weird
A new sensor could soon allow hospital patients’ blood oxygen levels to be checked via their breath. The technology is claimed to be more reliable and less painful than existing traditional methods.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Fraunh… Continue reading Breath-analyzing sensor dims its glow to show blood oxygen levels
Battery technology is the major limiting factor for the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles and grid-level energy storage. Marginal improvements have been made for lithium cells in the past decade …read more Continue reading Implantable Battery Charges Itself
Look at the development of Earth-bound tech and you’ll find fire at the heart of it, says a duo of researchers. And what does fire need to burn? Oxygen, whose chemical signature could provide clues to technological societies on worlds beyond our own.Co… Continue reading How the ‘oxygen bottleneck’ could help spot exoplanets with alien tech
Researchers have created a paint containing living cyanobacteria that produces oxygen and can capture carbon dioxide. The bacteria’s ability to withstand extreme environments means this novel paint could be used in a range of applications, including ou… Continue reading ‘Green living paint’ produces oxygen and captures carbon dioxide
