Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive molecules that are literally stealing electrons from your healthy cells at this very moment, causing damage that accumulates over time and contributes to ...

You probably know smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and being exposed to pollution can contribute to aging and disease. But have you ever wondered why? The answer, in part, can be explained by ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals, may be familiar to you; these are the ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are stable radical species that form on particulate matter surfaces during combustion or thermal processes. Their prolonged lifetimes enable long-range ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be ...
