If you have an interest in antioxidants, nutrition, aging, science or just want a good book to read, this is it. Three hundred million years ago, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans nearly a yard across. Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World. The nanoparticles could improve the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. Prevention of oxidative stress. Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. 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, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre. Under the right conditions, oxygen, light and photosensitiser molecules combine to generate a short-lived poisonous oxygen species called singlet oxygen. Although humans must breathe oxygen to stay alive, oxygen is a risky substance inside the body because it can make molecules overly reactive. IBM Has Made The First Movie Using Single Atoms. IBM atomic-data research made the world's smallest stop-motion film using 12-atom magnets and molecules of carbon monoxide. This is the basis of photodynamic therapy, a treatment for some cancers. Author Nick Lane presents a captivating. Scientists in Canada have made nanoparticles that release singlet oxygen when a laser beam is shone on them.
