ESO has discovered hydrogen peroxide in space. If you look at the photo, there’s a little red ring, that’s the stuff right there. On Earth, hydrogen peroxide plays a key role in the chemistry of water and ozone in our planet’s atmosphere, but is familiar in solution form for its use as hair bleach and as a disinfectant. Oh, and in high school science labs when you add it to slices of liver to make them froth with enzymic activity. Seriously though, detecting molecules of hydrogen peroxide in the space between the stars could offer clues about the chemical link between two molecules critical for life: water and oxygen. The discovery adds this important chemical to the growing list of small molecules, both inorganic and organic, that...

Because of the natural geographic variability in the hydrogen and oxygen isotope content of water, proteins within hair should contain evidence of these ratios and therefore act as signatures as to where someone has traveled. The current study has shown that the geographic source of tap, bottled water, beer, and sodas can be distinguished simply by measuring the isotope ratio of the water within these drinks. In our opinion, if the technology pans out for real world use, IsoForensics has a bright future with dictatorship governments, security and intelligence services, armed forces, and maybe even some ...

Hydrogen is difficult to store and the whole project faces other...

There is new hope on the horizon  -  rotten eggs. Seems a new study by Italian researchers have determined that hydrogen sulphide, the gas arising from rotten eggs, encourages arousal in men. Apparently minute amounts of this gas released by key nerve cells during arousal helps control and sustain an erection. According to researcher Professor Cirino, of the University of Naples Federico II in Italy, this discovery should make it possible “…in future to develop drugs that either deliver hydrogen sulphide or that control the hydrogen sulphide production.” In other words, create a new Viagra. Given that this gas is emitted by hot springs and spas around the world, will this mean...

You know how garlic is supposed to help with high blood pressure and aid in the fight against heart disease? And you know how there is research every single day that examines the same ol’ same old? Yes, this is true of the garlic myth as well. Eating garlic is one of the best ways to lower high blood pressure and protect yourself from cardiovascular disease. A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) shows this protective effect is closely linked to how much hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced from garlic compounds interacting with red blood cells I hear everybody loud and clear and love me some stinky garlic but… is it whole garlic, fresh garlic, minced garlic, garlic powder or does it matter if the garlic is heated to a c...
