Scientists have developed a way to precisely tune atomic-scale platinum “skin” layers on porous PtCu nanodendrites—revealing ...

Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, but it relies on efficient ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

Abstract: We give the characteristics of a hollow electrode discharge in oxygen in the presence of plasma created by an electron beam in the vicinity of the hollow entrance. Electron beam evaporates ...

In this study, chiral gold nanoparticles with a concave vortex cube structure were employed as the chiral substrate, exhibiting highly tunable optical chirality and intriguing chiral-induced spin ...

Water electrolysis is a main strategy for sustainable hydrogen production. The main obstacle limiting the efficiency of electrolytic water is the sluggish OER of four electron transfer steps.

The first step in finding electrons is to understand the basic structure of an atom. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge and are located in the ...
