Chemists at Merck & Co. were performing experiments using nitric oxide at high pressure (10–20 bar) when two instances of an explosion occurred during rapid depressurization of the NO headspace from a ...

Electrochemical detection of nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an essential tool in both biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. NO functions as a key signalling molecule in a variety of ...

A team of Hopkins scientists has greatly advanced the science of penile erection, showing for the first time the mechanism for continued production of nitric oxide that maintains an erection over time ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas and stable free radical that turns blue when it is liquefied or solidified. It was discovered and studied in 1772 by J. Priestley, who called it “nitrous air”. A ...

Because metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — highly porous metal complexes — are so structurally and chemically diverse, they could be used for many applications, such as drug delivery and environmental ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular “gate” that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide.
