Researchers at the University of Waterloo have produced experimental evidence that quantum-level effects can alter the ...

The chemistry of porphycenes has evolved into a dynamic field that bridges coordination chemistry and proton transfer mechanisms. Unique among macrocycles, porphycenes are structural isomers of ...

Chemists from St. Petersburg University has developed a new family of luminescent iridium complexes that, for the first time, realize a unique mechanism of photoactivated proton transfer. In the ...

Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. We know them, in our everyday life, from the pH values we see on various soaps and lotions. But the ability to move them through biological systems is essential ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical billiard balls and more like quantum actors. A growing body of research now ...

Researchers have developed a transmissive thin scintillator using perovskite nanocrystals, designed for real-time tracking and counting of single protons. The exceptional sensitivity is attributed to ...

Irradiating ammonia – which is made up of one nitrogen and three hydrogens – with ultraviolet light causes one hydrogen to dissociate from the ammonia. SLAC researchers used an ultrafast “electron ...

The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...
