The diminished surface-area-normalized catalytic activity of highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles compared with bulk Pt is particularly intricate, and not yet understood. Here we report on the oxygen ...

This sample of niobium has been treated in a process that is typical for preparing particle accelerator components. Tests have revealed how adding oxygen to such components makes them more efficient.

There’s nothing more satisfying or more cleansing than sucking in a deep breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, clean air is increasingly hard to find. Cities, especially in quickly industrializing ...

Scientists have created an oxygen particle that lets you live -- without even breathing. In a 2012 study, scientists injected micro-particles filled with oxygen into rabbits' bloodstreams. The ...

When I was little, I would spend my summer swimming about in the pool pretending to be a mermaid. Unfortunately, my performances were never very successful. I would slide into the pool, glide beneath ...

This study is led by Dr. Yang Hu (Institute of Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, the Technical University of Denmark) and Dr. Qing-Feng Li (Institute of Department of Energy Conversion and ...

Big wave surfing is not a big topic of interest in Boston, Massachusetts. No, the people of Beantown are more concerned about their Red Sox than they are about Ian Walsh’s latest quest at Jaws.
