The prospect of sending humans to Mars has taken a big leap forward after researchers confirmed that an experiment on the red planet has been able to produce oxygen “in a variety of atmospheric conditions.” With Mars’ atmosphere comprising almost entirely of carbon dioxide, scientists have been keen to find a way of producing oxygen […]
Enlarge / There’s ongoing debate over whether we’ve seen direct evidence of brines on Mars. (credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona) Atmospheric oxygen both enables complex life and is a hallmark of it. Aerobic respiration is so energetically efficient that it’s thought to have been needed for multicellularity. There is hardly any oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding […]
The possibility of life on Mars has been a tantalizing possibility for years, and recent discoveries have only increased excitement about whether we’ll find life on the red planet. Now, a new study in Nature Geoscience posits that it’s possible that Mars may have enough oxygen to harbor life under its surface. The team was […]
OXYGEN therapy could help combat dementia in people with lung disease, suggests new research. Breathing in additional oxygen improves the function of blood vessels in the brain of people with breathing difficulties caused by lung conditions, according to the study.
Oxygen is given to millions of patients around the world every day, but too much of it can be harmful and life-threatening, according to a new Canadian scientific paper that in one expert’s view “is a very significant landmark study.”

Photosynthesis. (credit: Petr Pakandl / WikiCommons) “The so-called ‘faint young Sun paradox’ has long been a topic of debate because its resolution bears important ramifications for the basic factors structuring climate regulation and the long-term habitability of Earth and Earth-like exoplanets.” So begins Chris Reinhard’s new paper in Nature. Reinhard is a Principal Investigator at […]
Published time: 26 Oct, 2017 13:20 F-35 fighter jet pilots at the Luke Air Force Base in Arizona continue to experience unexplained symptoms of hypoxia, or oxygen deprivation, months after the world’s most expensive weapons system was grounded with similar issues. Five incidents of pilots suffering from hypoxia-like symptoms were reported at Luke in May […]
CANCER remains a very deadly condition in the UK, but scientists have discovered a new way to fight tumours that is inspired by mountain climbers’ altitude training. Daily Express :: Health Feed
Cancer kills someone every four minutes in the UK, according to Cancer Research UK – but scientists may have moved a step closer to finding an effective treatment for solid tumours. Current ways to treat icancer include chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, researchers have discovered a new way to destroy tumours that is similar to the […]
