Chemical reactions mediated by visible light are important tools in organic synthesis. These reactions occur analogously to light-driven biological processes such as photosynthesis — with the help of ...

Oxidative stress is believed to cause a number of diseases. Up to now, it has been common practice to measure oxidative stress levels by determining the oxidation state of a small molecule called ...

Graphene oxide is an oxidized form of graphene. The exact structure of graphene oxide depends on the synthesis method used, but it typically consists of graphene sheets laced with covalently bonded ...

Chemists produce new oxidants as a tool for preparative chemistry. Chemical oxidation, the selective removal of electrons from a substrate, represents one of the most important transformations in ...

The presence of oxidizing agents in an RO unit can destroy the osmosis membrane allowing dissolved salts to enter the system and lowering the quality of water. ORP measurement after the condenser ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...
