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
Type 1 diabetes remains a problem despite having an apparently simple solution: since T1D patients have lost the cells that produce insulin, it should be possible to transplant those cells …read more Continue reading Implant Fights Diabetes by Making Insulin and Oxygen
Daily insulin injections are painful and inconvenient, which is why scientists are developing implants that treat diabetes without any need for needles. A new one looks particularly promising, as it produces oxygen to feed onboard islet cells.

A new study has found that brief treatment with 100% oxygen can substantially improve motor learning in young, healthy adults. It may have opened the door to using this easy-to-administer treatment with people who are re-learning motor skills they’ve l… Continue reading Simple oxygen treatment may boost our ability to re-learn motor skills
