Reshaping graphene from flat sheets into compact particles solves a key manufacturing problem, enabling printable conductive ...

With grid-scale renewable energy on the rise, many scholars have shifted their attention from energy generation to energy storage. Whether it is solar cells converting sunlight into power, or ...

Solvation theory investigates the energetic and structural effects when solutes interact with surrounding solvent molecules, providing a fundamental framework to understand processes as diverse as ...

Scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute, Sorbonne University, and Uppsala University have made a groundbreaking discovery that can help to improve our understanding of the behavior of ions in ...

Chemists have tracked with unprecedented spatial resolution how individual water molecules attach to an organic molecule. They used low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize the ...

In a world first, researchers have recorded exactly how solvents interact with dissolved materials, one atom at a time. After a solute, such as salt, dissolves in a solvent, such as water, the two ...

CORRECTION: This story was updated on May 24, 2012. The research team estimated solvation energies for 56,000 sequences coding for tRNA, not 5,600, as originally stated. Genomes are a patchwork of ...
