By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions ...

Peroxide-based explosives were used during the London bombings in July 2007. They are difficult to detect using traditional instruments based in airports, for example, as their chemical structure ...

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) plays key roles in aquatic systems, including metal redox cycling and degradation of organic matter into bioavailable forms. Abiotic photoproduction, via photo-oxidation of ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

New research from Professor J. Will Medlin and collaborators at three other institutions points to a new, inexpensive and sustainable method of synthesizing hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has ...

Currently, the industry-leading anthraquinone process is an indirect, energy-intensive approach that requires sequential oxidation, distillation, and hydrogenation steps and has a high operating cost.

Ever wondered why hydrogen peroxide suddenly erupts into thick foam? This video explains how catalysts like potassium iodide ...

A new study highlights a promising path toward sustainable hydrogen peroxide production using sunlight, oxygen, and water, offering a cleaner alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone process ...

Some chemical reactions change temperature, change color, produce a gas, or make a solid from two liquids. Try this reaction and see what it does! Pour 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide into a cup.
