An interdisciplinary team presents a new class of chemical compounds that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. The compounds known as 'pyrazinacenes' are simple, stable compounds that consist of a ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

Biogeochemical iron (Fe) cycling in pH-circumneutral environments involves concurrent microbially and chemically driven ferrous iron (Fe(II)) oxidation and Fe(III) reduction processes, which must be ...

oxidation is the loss of electrons reduction is the gain of electrons All of the half equations occurring at the cathode show electrons being gained, so they all show reduction taking place. The ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

An international team of scientists led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy from the University of Vienna has discovered a new microbial metabolism: so-called MISO bacteria "breathe" ...
