Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

Scientists have pioneered a new way to monitor sodium levels in the blood—without drawing a single drop. By combining terahertz radiation and optoacoustic detection, they created a non-invasive ...

Alkaline. Electrolyte. Flavored. Walk down the beverage aisle and you'll find all kinds of waters promising extra health perks. But are these fancy waters really better for you? Not really, Tufts ...

Quantum dots beat traditional photosensitizers at their own game. They tackle reactions once thought too tough for ...

GTH pseudopotentials (49) and the TZV2P basis set (50) were employed to describe the atomic core and valence electrons, respectively. All of our simulations (both hydrated and excess electron ...

How do local reactivity descriptors, such as the Fukui function and the local spin density distribution, shape the potential energy surface (PES) associated with chemical reactions and thus govern ...
