The ocean serves as Earth's largest dynamic carbon sink, absorbing 400 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) annually through continuous exchange with the atmosphere. Researchers at Yale have now ...

Transition metals such as iron are reactive components of environmentally relevant surfaces. Here, dark reaction of Fe(III) with catechol and guaiacol was investigated in an aqueous solution at pH 3 ...

Micrometeorites raining down from space may have provided the perfect surfaces for the first primitive cells to form on Earth ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that urea—an essential building block for life—could have formed on the early Earth. Instead of requiring high temperatures or complex catalysts, this ...

LMU researchers have demonstrated a possible mechanism for metabolic processes without cell membranes in water-filled pores.

Internet viewers have deemed a dog's reaction to trying sparkling water "valid" as the confused pup appeared shocked and confused. Nellie, a miniature bull terrier, lives in the U.K. with her ...

In photosynthetic reaction centers from purple bacteria (PbRCs) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the secondary quinone Q B accepts two electrons and two protons via electron-coupled proton transfer (PT).

Solid alloys of aluminum, gallium, indium and tin have been shown to react with water at room temperature to produce hydrogen and aluminum hydroxide in an exothermic reaction. The gallium, indium and ...
