The oxidative power makes atomic oxygen useful for a number of fields and industries, but scientists don’t know all the ins-and-out of how it reacts in water.

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, catching a substance that usually hides behind the familiar H2O formula in the ...

One broken piece of quartz in a physics lab could shed light on the history of life on Earth and the search for other habitable worlds. Today, most life as we know it depends on oxygen. Specifically, ...

After scientists created oxygen-28 in the lab, it almost immediately degraded, baffling physicists around the world. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Researchers in the Technion Department of Materials Science and Engineering have succeeded in changing a material's electrical properties by vacating an oxygen atom from the original structure.

Scientists are still trying to understand the nuances of oxygen’s atomic behavior in water. A new study using an ultra-advanced laser successfully imaged an oxygen atom in water for the first time. To ...
