Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of ...

This proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), as it is known, does not produce any change in charge – the most efficient way for a redox reaction to occur. There are two possible mechanisms here ...

A recent study has made significant progress in uncovering the microscopic mechanism behind heavy-ion cancer therapy.

Heavy-ion therapy, one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, has proven to be more effective than conventional X-rays ...

Mitchell saw the detailed mechanism of respiration in this far broader sense: Membrane proteins can create gradients across a membrane, and these gradients can in turn power work. Proton gradients ...

Now experiments at elevated pressures are shown to identify excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer mechanisms and to facilitate merging proton transfer with subsequent electron transfer ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions play a vital role in a wide ... for hydrogen production identify the thermodynamically and kinetically favorable mechanisms and guide the theoretical ...

The findings, led by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their ...

A new study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences  has uncovered a ...

For the first time, they observed an intermolecular energy and proton transfer cascade mechanism triggered by heavy-ion irradiation in biomolecular clusters. "The observed mechanism sheds light on ...
