Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

Hydrogen production from solar-driven water splitting serves as a crucial technology to sustainably access zero-carbon H 2 energy. Toward large-scale application, cost-effective cocatalysts—such as ...

Valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of an atom, play an important role in driving chemical reactions and forming bonds with other atoms. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

Scientists measure fractional electron transfer on catalyst surfaces, revealing how precious metals like platinum and gold drive efficient chemical reactions. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers ...

UML Alert: UMass Lowell closed Tuesday, Jan. 27 due to weather See Storm Information Page for details.

Researchers in the Center for Programmable Energy Catalysis, headquartered at the University of Minnesota, have now shown that electron sharing in catalysis can be directly measured by a technique ...
