Even more interestingly, the material may also be configured in a device that could absorb oxygen directly from water and allow a diver to stay submerged for long periods of time, ...

Apparently, just a spoonful of the stuff can suck up all the oxygen in a room. The crystal is a salt made from cobalt*, and it appears to be capable of holding oxygen at a concentration that is ...

Crystals are black when they are saturated with oxygen and pink when the oxygen has been released again. A bucket full (10 litres) of the material is enough to suck up all the oxygen in a room. “It is ...

A set of breakthroughs from scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is ...

Depending on the atmospheric oxygen content, temperature, pressure, etc. it takes seconds, minutes, hours or days for the substance to absorb oxygen from its surroundings.

A crystalline substance that can absorb and release oxygen in large quantities could one day lead to tankless underwater breathing a la one water-loving superhero. One spoonful of this stuff could ...

The claim: An aloe plant can raise oxygen levels, absorb carbon dioxide and do the work of 9 air purifiers. Aloe plants have won over home gardeners thanks to their infrequent watering needs and ...

This environment allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen, which then gets delivered to your cells and tissues. Being in a hyperbaric chamber can increase the amount of oxygen in your blood.

One way to decrease the risk of oxygen toxicity would have been to grow bigger, since large larvae would absorb lower percentages of the gas, relative to their body sizes, than small larvae.

Scientists have made the surprising discovery that some mammals can absorb oxygen through their intestines. Mice, rats and pigs given oxygen enemas in gas or liquid form were found to survive much ...

The research was inspired in part by the knowledge that some other species, including loaches, catfish, sea cucumbers and orb-weaving spiders can absorb oxygen through their backside parts.
