Home to 1.4-billion-year-old fossils and now on UNESCO’s Tentative World Heritage List, Salkhan Fossil Park in Uttar Pradesh offers a glimpse into some of Earth’s earliest life forms.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions worldwide, with renal fibrosis representing a final common pathway of chronic ...

As temperatures soar, experts warn that the risk of fires caused by solar panels is rising - but there are steps homeowners ...

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

The Earth and the Moon may look very different today, but they formed under similar conditions in space. In fact, a dominant hypothesis says that the early Earth was hit by a Mars-sized object, and it ...

Two University of Victoria (UVic) geologists have integrated field geology with statistical modeling to give scientists a new view of the chemical reactions happening on ocean floors billions of years ...

“This compound is the equivalent of the Higgs boson for oxidation chemistry,” says Barbara Noziere, pictured here with the spectrometer she used for first-ever observations of tetroxides. Scientists ...

For decades, scientists have believed that complex life began when two very different microbes joined forces, eventually giving rise to plants, animals, and fungi. But one major puzzle remained: how ...

Abstract: Oxygen-Inserted (OI) layers are shown to shield a buried boron profile from oxidation enhanced diffusion. A TCAD model for the OI layer, including point defect and dopant trapping, as ...

Researchers from the Freunberger group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have unveiled pivotal insights into the redox chemistry of oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract: Oxygen-Inserted (OI) layers interposed between boron marker layers are shown to substantially retard diffusion in the lower marker. Simulation of these OI layers and their associated ...

Picture of Earth's atmosphere from a satellite. Oxygen comprises 21% of all the gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, the second most abundant after nitrogen with 78%. Despite that number, if the planet’s ...
