While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

Social media users are sharing claims that rubbing hydrogen peroxide onto the skin can treat cancer and that oxygen can kill cancer cells. These claims are not supported by evidence, an expert told ...

In this video, I demonstrate how to make an oxygen generator using manganese dioxide (MnO2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ...

Scientists have developed a novel Cr-based single-atom catalyst that enables highly efficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ...

(Left) Schematic representation of the structure of a porous carbon catalyst with boron doping on the surface and carbon walls forming the mesopores. (Right) Mesopore structure and atomic-scale ...

Topical antiseptics such as hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or a combination of the two are not safe to inhale and not proven to treat respiratory infections, contrary to social media claims that breathing ...

There is a vast literature on the generation and effects of reactive oxygen species in biological systems, both in relation to damage they cause and their involvement in cell regulatory and signaling ...

Cells use flavin monooxygenases to break down foreign molecules by adding oxygen atoms to them. Biochemists have long assumed that the enzymes use a particular cofactor adduct to add the oxygen. A new ...

THE account in NATURE of November 17, p. 778, by Dr. Newton Friend and Mr. S. Marks of an explosion which occurred during the preparation of oxygen from sodium peroxide and water interested us ...
