Like a delicate fabric that becomes damaged during drying, a promising next-generation battery material has faced an unexpected challenge: Removing water to improve performance can actually shorten ...

Oxidation and reduction are complementary electron-transfer processes that underpin redox chemistry and many biological and industrial transformations. Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons, ...

In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic devices. These polarons emerged within the ...

Until now, it was generally believed that gold simply does not react with oxygen and therefore does not discolor. On May 21, ...

Deep below our feet, manganese may exist in a form we have never seen before, and this underground source of the metal could have played a role in the story of how Earth got its oxygen. Until about 2 ...

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

A simple air-based method produces stable 15-atom iridium nanoclusters that outperform commercial catalysts for green ...

Many experts say this makes a difference, depending on the bourbon. Either way, it's a good excuse to host a taste test to ...

From building the Centre for Pulse EPR at Imperial to probing electron transfer in real time, Maxie Rößler is pushing an overlooked technique into the spotlight ...

An international research team, including scientists from the University of Adelaide, have developed a highly efficient ...

South Korean Chung-Ang Univ. researchers developed a durable, precious-metal-free catalyst that could reduce the cost of ...

However,instead of attacking cancer cells, they are typically co-opted to support tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic ...
