The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...

Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the University of Pittsburgh, and Drexel University in Philadelphia are looking for a more sustainable way to disinfect water. They are studying how ...

The ozone hole over Antarctica is the seventh smallest it’s been since the early 1990s. Recovery began with the Montreal Protocol, which ended the production of all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in 1987.

The study of ozone dynamics and isotope effects encompasses the intricate chemical pathways involved in ozone formation, destruction and its isotopic composition. Research in this field has elucidated ...

Ozone, a pale blue gas with a characteristic after-lightning smell, is the main component of smog: the sometimes-foggy air that blankets Houston during the summer months. It is one of the city’s most ...

What a difference an oxygen atom makes. Slapping an additional atom onto a typical oxygen molecule creates ozone, which the city of Moorhead uses as the primary disinfectant and treatment agent for ...

NASA and NOAA scientists ranked the 2025 Antarctic ozone hole as the fifth smallest since 1992, a finding that reflects decades of global chemical regulation but does not mean the threat has passed.
