The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

Noble metals are important photocatalysts due to their ability to convert light into chemical energy. Hot electrons, generated via the non-radiative decay of localized surface plasmons, can be ...

A reaction that puzzled scientists for 50 years has now been explained by researchers at Ume University. Rapid structural snapshots captured how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during ...

The massive consumption of fossil fuels all over the world has led to excessive CO 2 emissions into atmosphere, which has caused serious environmental issues and energy crisis. Electrochemical CO 2 ...

Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

Recently, the research team of Tierui Zhang from the Institute of Chemistry and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a Mini-Review titled "Innovative and Sustainable Approaches to Aerobic ...

The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...

oxidation is the loss of electrons reduction is the gain of electrons All of the half equations occurring at the cathode show electrons being gained, so they all show reduction taking place. The ...
