Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World book @ xexygiwo的部落 . Nick Lane's book, Oxygen The Molecule that made the World, is a surprising volume. 3 hundred million many years in the past, dragonflies grew as large as seagulls, with wingspans virtually a lawn across. This is the basis of photodynamic therapy, a treatment for some cancers. Prevention of oxidative stress. Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World By Nick Lane 2002 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0198508034 | DJVU | 3 MBThree hundred million years ago, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingsp. Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. Jennifer Welsh | May 1, 2013, 10:58 AM | 3,171 | 8 Smallest Stop-Motion Film" by the Guinness World Record. The nanoparticles could improve the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. Under the right conditions, oxygen, light and photosensitiser molecules combine to generate a short-lived poisonous oxygen species called singlet oxygen. 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. Although humans must breathe oxygen to stay alive, oxygen is a risky substance inside the body because it can make molecules overly reactive. Truth is I haven't even got a copy of that book yet, so this blog will be devoted to a review of his first, somewhat drier sounding book, Oxygen: the molecule that made the world, published in 2002. For two sexes, the accelerated aging of cloned animals like Dolly the sheep, and the surprisingly long lives of bats and birds. Three hundred million years ago, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre. "Fascinating" This book is a hard read if you don't have a good background in natural science and chemistry, but if you do it is fascinating. 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. IBM atomic-data research made the world's smallest stop-motion film using 12-atom magnets and molecules of carbon monoxide. The 5,000 molecules of carbon monoxide — a carbon and an oxygen bonded together — used during filming are moved using tiny magnets made of 12 atoms to drag the carbon monoxide. Scientists in Canada have made nanoparticles that release singlet oxygen when a laser beam is shone on them. IBM Has Made The First Movie Using Single Atoms. Second, I read to be amazed and gain an appreciation for the wider world. 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.
