Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...

‘Green’ reducing agents could help tackle climate change and treat contaminated water. When scientists shine low-intensity near-ultraviolet light on metal nanoparticles, electrons in the nanoparticles ...

Electrons confined within self-assembled phosphorus chains have been shown to move in a strictly one-dimensional manner, marking a significant advance in condensed matter physics and nanomaterials ...

Ruthenium-functionalized nanodiamonds generate powerful solvated electrons under visible light, bypassing the deep UV requirement that has limited diamond photocatalysis to laboratory settings.

Scientists at TU Wien found that electrons need specific “doorway states” to escape solids, not just energy. The insight explains long-standing anomalies in experiments and unlocks new ways to ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded today to three scientists for the discovery of quantum dots. These are nanoparticles so small that their size controls their many properties, such as ...

A better understanding of how electrons convert energy into photons could lead to designing more efficient solar cells or better phototherapies for cancer. Researchers looking into the process have ...

Stockholm — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around atoms in fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or ...

Solutions containing solvated electrons are inherently clean chemical reactants, and they could become easier and cheaper to make now that chemists have uncovered the long-sought mechanism of a ...
