Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) encompasses reactions in which the movement of an electron is directly linked to the transfer of a proton. This coupling can proceed by sequential ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes. Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental ...

Scientists have caught fast-moving hydrogen atoms—the keys to countless biological and chemical reactions—in action. A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator ...

Data from past proton-electron collisions provide strong evidence of entanglement among the proton's sea of quarks (spheres) and gluons (squiggles), which may play an important role in their ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

Discover the foundational components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video delves into the traditional atom model and reveals its inaccuracies, particularly regarding electron ...

Available to watch now, The Electrochemical Society, in partnership with ACS Chemical Reviews and Gamry Instruments, explores the theoretical studies of molecular and heterogeneous electrocatalysis ...

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 camera" ...
