Hydrogen is often lauded as the clean fuel of the future, but it has a dirty secret—most hydrogen produced today comes from natural gas. While it’s cleaner than simply burning the natural gas, it’s ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

Scientists have found through spectroscopic investigations on a hydrogen-producing enzyme that the environment of the catalytic site acts as an electron reservoir in the enzyme. Thus, it can very ...

Hydrogen interactions play a crucial role in organic chemistry. The position of hydrogen in many molecules can completely change what happens to the other atoms in the rings. The international ...

What you’re looking at is the first direct observation of an atom’s electron orbital — an atom’s actual wave function! To capture the image, researchers utilized a new quantum microscope — an ...

Precise control of electrochemical reactions on dielectric layers is a key issue that has been increasingly studied in recent years, because it would enable patterned circuits, stacks of thin films ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

Static electricity works because electrons are strongly attracted to protons, right? But, in atoms, electrons are right there, next to the protons in the nucleus. Why don’t the electrons zip directly ...
