According to a study published in Water Research in April 2020, superoxide produces hydroxyl radicals in lake water. Hydroxyl radicals break down poorly biodegradable organic matter such as humic ...

Scott F. Singleton, an associate professor of medicinal chemistry and natural products at the University of North Carolina School of Pharmacy, calls the results "wonderfully unexpected, but in a way ...

Haze is formed when a cocktail of various gaseous pollutants is oxidized and forms particulate matter diffusing sunlight. This process is mainly mediated by hydroxyl radicals (OH), and researchers ...

The atmospheric chemistry of hydroxyl radicals and gas‐phase reactions is central to our understanding of air quality and climate dynamics. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH), often described as the “atmospheric ...

Equations describing the yield of scavenging reactions of the hydroxyl radical and of the hydrated electron in aqueous solutions of biological interest are presented. These equations are shown to be ...

A research team has developed a rapid flash-heating technology that produces highly efficient iron–carbon (Fe/C) composite catalysts capable of activating molecular oxygen to degrade stubborn organic ...

Air quality is literally a matter of life and death. More than one in 10 deaths worldwide are attributed to dirty air, polluted through a matter of means and molecules, which makes the battle to clean ...

A Dutch researcher has investigated the influence of light on the behavior of small molecules, and has calculated the effect of light for several types of molecules. His theoretical research into ...

Hydrogen-based technologies are becoming more of a topic as renewable and clean energy sources are desired. A controversial take in this world is that hydrogen binding energy might not be the first ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are reputed for their involvement in carcinogenesis. Results from a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie have now shown that the level of one such ROS, ...
