Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

The symbols, discovered on 40,000-year-old artifacts in caves in southwest Germany, may have been a precursor to the first written language ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group of proteins that shepherds electrons forward, passing them along like a ...

“Na⁺-NQR has long been a bit of a puzzle for researchers, because certain parts of the enzyme appeared to be too far apart to facilitate the electron transfer that’s critical for bacterial respiration ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date. Motivated by reducing hazards from possible use of radiological ...

Embarking on the journey to understand the electronic structure of atoms, mastering the art of writing full electron configurations is a fundamental step. An electron configuration describes which ...

Electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons within an atom. This arrangement follows specific rules and principles, helping us predict how an element will bond and behave chemically.
