Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World Nick Lane
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

IBM atomic-data research made the world's smallest stop-motion film using 12-atom magnets and molecules of carbon monoxide. The nanoparticles could improve the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. This is the basis of photodynamic therapy, a treatment for some cancers. Scientists in Canada have made nanoparticles that release singlet oxygen when a laser beam is shone on them. If you have an interest in antioxidants, nutrition, aging, science or just want a good book to read, this is it. 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. Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. 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. Author Nick Lane presents a captivating. Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World. Jennifer Welsh | May 1, 2013, 10:58 AM | 3,171 | 8 Smallest Stop-Motion Film" by the Guinness World Record. Nick Lane's book, Oxygen The Molecule that made the World, is a surprising volume. 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. Three hundred million years ago, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans nearly a yard across. Under the right conditions, oxygen, light and photosensitiser molecules combine to generate a short-lived poisonous oxygen species called singlet oxygen. Three hundred million years ago, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre. IBM Has Made The First Movie Using Single Atoms.
