Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a light-driven method for synthesizing Davis reagents that generates the hazardous oxidant mCPBA only on demand and consumes it immediately. Kinetic ...

Ammonium perchlorate is widely used as an oxidant in the solid propellants that power rocket boosters and missiles, but it comes with serious environmental costs. Every time the Ariane 5 space ...

From Figure 1, it can be seen that 2 mol of Fe(III) oxidant are required to produce 1 mol of polymer repeat units. For terthiophene (TTh) the equation would be: In this report, measurement of the ...

Antioxidants that reduce the pro-oxidant or oxidative stress causing action of various reactive oxygen species and free radicals also have a dark side. For example, vitamin C or ascorbic acid that ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between two proteins that helps keep a critical cellular recycling system in balance ...
