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 ...

In life, sometimes a small change can make a huge difference. The same goes for physics. A new study was recently published in Physical Review Letters from the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and ...

Abstract: Ionic liquids (ILs) can function as solvents for Bronsted acids to enhance proton conductivities for a variety of electrochemical and organic synthesis applications. The underlying ...

A neutrino is one of the most well-known, and arguably most mysterious, particles in all of physics. This is because while they exist in vast quantities throughout the universe, they are also very ...

Proton transfers drive countless reactions in biology and chemistry – think enzymes, which help catalyze biochemical reactions, and proton pumps, which are essential to mitochondria, the ...

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 ...

The performance of a fuel cell—a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy—depends on how well the ions can ...

Now add pentagons, septagons, and octagons of carbon atoms into the sheet, and you’re looking at a new form of ultra-thin ...
