Auburn University scientists have developed a new class of materials that allow precise control over free electrons, ...

Scientists have developed a simple, low-cost method to drive key chemical reactions, which could make large-scale drug ...

When scientists think about what drives chemistry in space, high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ions, gets most of the attention. But a new study suggests that low-energy electrons ...

Preston J. MacDougall, a professor at Middle Tennessee State University, wanted to understand where electrons tended to reside and where they stayed away from in a crystal of a diiron cluster compound ...

A chemicurrent is a flux of fast (kinetic energy ≳0.5—1.3 eV) metal electrons caused by moderately exothermic (1—3 eV) chemical reactions over high work function (4-6 eV) metal surfaces. In this ...

Scientists have made a significant advance toward making movies of extremely fast atomic processes with potential applications in energy production, chemistry, medicine, materials science and more.

The answer is not a simple particle but a composite entity. A polaron is formed when an electron strongly couples with the ...

Research published in ACS Nano highlights the discovery of Dirac electrons, or electrons that behave as if they have no mass, in a phase-change material used in CDs and DVDs. This discovery could open ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking ...

In many ways, the history of civilization is the history of chemistry — the study of matter and its properties. Humans have always sought to identify, use and change the materials in our environment.
