For more than a quarter century, scientists have been trying to determine the structure of a particular form of solid oxygen. X-ray analysis of the substance under high pressure now indicates that ...

Oxygen, the colorless and odorless gas that is essential to the survival of humans and other living organisms, is estimated to make up around 21% of Earth's atmosphere. While the primary properties of ...

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries depend on the movement of ions (charged atoms) in the solid, rather than liquid, state to either charge or discharge the battery. These solid-state electrolytes are ...

Solid oxygen is the only elementary molecular magnet known. At atmospheric pressure (about 10-4 gigapascals) it is an anti-ferromagnetic insulator but becomes a superconductor and metal at about 96 ...

On the back of recording its third year of top and bottom line growth, Telefónica’s UK business arm O2 has released research showing the transformative impact 5G connectivity could have on the UK’s ...

Scientists have revealed the crystal structure of a dark red form of solid oxygen that forms at immense pressures. The results are surprising, elegant — and entirely useless. But the high-pressure ...

The detailing of the intermolecular interactions in dense solid oxygen is essential for an understanding of the rich polymorphism and remarkable properties of this element at high pressure.

This article discusses the problem of preserving the Lunar vacuum despite huge industrial use. Lunar ‘atmosphere’ might frost out to an artificially enhanced ‘cold trap’ at the Lunar Poles. The ...
