Making matters worse is that when free radicals steal electrons from multiple atoms, they create more unstable atoms, setting off a harmful chain reaction. And when free radicals attack important ...

Here we look at how the combustion of hydrogen gas can lead to a chain reaction. On the face of it, the chemical reactions that take place in the combustion of hydrogen are relatively simple ...

Charles University researcher Martin Orságh says the color lets him control a reaction called radical RAFT (reversible ...

But when one goes missing, these rogue molecules—free radicals—start hunting for an electron from healthy cells. They steal it, turning those cells unstable too, triggering a chain reaction ...
