Free radical chemistry centres on the study of species that possess one or more unpaired electrons – a feature that confers unique reactivity and diverse roles across chemical and biological systems.

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the DNA inside cells if they build up. They may play a role in a range of diseases and the visible signs of aging. Antioxidants are another type of ...

THE capture of particles elusive and ephemeral by Paneth and Hofeditz has proved a turning point in the century-old controversy around the question “Do free radicals exist ?” In justice to recent ...

Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules with free outer electrons. This makes them highly reactive because free electrons always strive to form a stable bond. This stabilization involves gaining ...
