The nanoparticles could improve the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. Scientists in Canada have made nanoparticles that release singlet oxygen when a laser beam is shone on them. The Molecule That Made Our World Oxygen – we all need it, we can't live without it. The story begins with the birth of oxygen, moves Feel free to post any comments about Naked Science S10E01 The Molecule that Made the World HDTV XviD-FQM, including links to downloads, samples, screenshots, information, or any other relevant information. NGC is putting a unique twist on history by retracing the extraordinary journey of a single molecule of oxygen an adventure that takes place over millions of years. This is the basis of photodynamic therapy, a treatment for some cancers. NGC takes you on the extraordinary journey of a single molecule of oxygen. [HD VIDEO & PHOTO] Naked Science: At this very moment, you could be breathing the same oxygen molecule that Genghis Khan did! Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made a sheet of paper from the world's thinnest material, graphene, and then zapped the paper with a laser or camera flash to blemish it with countless cracks, pores, and other imperfections. In Oxygen, Nick Lane takes the reader on an enthralling journey as he unravels the unexpected ways in which oxygen spurred the evolution of life and death. It's integral to life on this planet. Oxygen Molecules in the Orion Nebula Astronomers have at last identified the distinct signatures of oxygen molecules in space, using observations made with the Herschel Space Observatory. Astronomers are finding more and more of life's key ingredients in deep space, from amino acids to a huge water reservoir, and now molecular oxygen. The result is a In both instances, the heat from the laser or photoflash literally caused mini-explosions throughout the paper, as the oxygen atoms in graphene oxide were violently expelled from the structure. Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. Under the right conditions, oxygen, light and photosensitiser molecules combine to generate a short-lived poisonous oxygen species called singlet oxygen. Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World. Second, I read to be amazed and gain an appreciation for the wider world. Three hundred million years ago, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans nearly a yard across. Three hundred million years ago, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre.
