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 ...

The Universe teems with extreme environments, ranging from the very coldest temperatures to the highest energy sources possible. As a consequence, extreme objects such as supernova remnants, pulsars ...

It’s funny that something so innocuous as pencil lead might hold the key to clean energy, but that was the word out of Manchester University this weekend, where Professor Sir Andrei Geim and his team ...

Electrons can spur the chemical reaction between an acid and a base, according to new results in Science, a finding that may help researchers precisely control reactions in areas from biology to ...

A University of California, Berkeley chemist has engineered a new technology that could make hydrogen-producing fuel cells ...

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

Results of an experimental study of binary recombination of para- and ortho- ${\rm{H}}_{\rm{3}}^{\rm{ + }}$ ions with electrons are presented. Near-infrared cavity-ring-down absorption spectroscopy ...

Protons might be stretchier than they should be. The subatomic particles are built of smaller particles called quarks, which are bound together by a powerful interaction known as the strong force. New ...

Though I have been retired for many years as a photosynthesis researcher, some of J. Craig Venter's statements in his article 1 did not compute with my understanding of evolution and the ...

Solar water splitting uses the energy contained in sunlight's photons to generate hydrogen and oxygen gas from water. Although many renewable energy sources are known, and will be needed to satisfy ...
