It's long been thought that photosynthesis was basically the only way that oxygen is naturally generated on Earth (some bacteria can also produce oxygen by breaking down nitrates). But a new study has ...

Soil on the moon contains active compounds that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuels, scientists in China report May 5 in the journal Joule. They are now exploring whether lunar resources ...

In 1997, a fire broke out on the Mir space station, the predecessor of the International Space Station. The culprit was the ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...
