When UV rays strike oxygen molecules (O2) in this layer, those molecules break apart, resulting in two highly reactive individual oxygen atoms known as atomic oxygen. Atomic oxygen joins regular ...

Warming temperatures may be changing the ways ice forms, making it more likely to stick to and injure polar bears in two far north populations. Temperatures in the Arctic region are warming more ...

For the first time, chemists have made a class of molecules previously thought too unstable to exist, and used them to generate exotic compounds 1. Scientists say these notorious molecules ...
