New research suggests tiny electrical charges in water droplets could have fueled the chemical reactions that led to life.

Inspired by NASA aerospace engineering, this project features a plasma thruster, designed to maximize efficiency and increase ...

In this method, the UV spectrum of sunlight is simulated using specific light sources, such as xenon or metal halide ... The generation of hot carriers (electrons or holes) is another proposed ...

that can then be used to map electrons within molecules. Here the authors demonstrate that Xenon plasma can shape thick frozen-hydrated biological samples for structure determination of molecules ...

The scientists determined the three-dimensional structure of the protein and found that there are positively charged calcium ions buried inside it, very near the place where the electrons are stored.

In a paper published Jan. 22 in Nature, the team describes how electrons in devices made, in part, of the new material can become solid, or form crystals, by changing the voltage applied to the ...

No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

A new method using spiraling electron beams allows scientists to directly observe electrons in motion, unlocking new insights into quantum processes and molecular behavior. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...
