Batteries are composed of two electrodes, an anode (positive charge) and a cathode (negative charge), separated by an electrical insulator. As the
Electrically charged molecules or atoms, called ions, are the key species formed when salts (such as NaCl or table salt) or acids (such as acetic
The arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule influences its physical and chemical properties. With this in mind, a number of techniques have
Researchers at JILA, a joint research institute of the University of Colorado and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, have
The basis for atomic‐scale structure determination involves the scattering of single x‐ray photons, one at a time, from the electrons that make up
Photoelectrochemical cells use semiconductor photoelectrodes to convert energy directly from sunlight into storable chemical fuels. Semiconductor
Developing methods and technology to harness sunlight for energy is one of the most important tasks of researchers at the forefront of the energy
Scientists discovered a family of nature-inspired polymers that, when placed in water, spontaneously assemble into crystalline nanotubes. The
