Start here: Gas in water

The 3 lessons every other lesson builds on: how gas gets into water, and how water carries it. About 24 minutes.

  1. 1How gases dissolve in waterHow much gas can water hold, and what raises or lowers that amount?8 min · Peer-reviewed research · Sep 2026
  2. 2Diffusion and gas–liquid mass transferHow fast does gas move from a bubble or a surface into water, and what controls that speed?8 min · Peer-reviewed research · Sep 2026
  3. 3Water as a gas carrierHow does dissolved gas travel with water to roots, gills and microbes, and what does it lose on the way?8 min · Peer-reviewed research · Sep 2026

Research Frontiers

Early-stage medical and biological research, summarized for completeness. It is not medical advice, and it is not an area where Kairospace sells equipment.

How these lessons are written

Each lesson summarizes peer-reviewed research in our own words, states the conditions behind each finding, and lists every source with a link to the paper. Kairospace field data appears only where it is labeled as ours.
