Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. We know them, in our everyday life, from the pH values we see on various soaps and lotions. But the ability to move them through biological systems is essential ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, challenging long-held theories about how solar energy systems work. The finding ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature ...

Nanoscale electron transfer (ET) in solids is fundamental to the development of multifunctional materials. However, ET in solids is not yet clearly understood. Now, researchers achieved a direct ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

The study of electron transfer processes in porphyrin and fullerene systems has evolved into a cornerstone of modern photophysical research, bridging fundamental chemistry with applied energy ...

Hydrogen is widely viewed as a promising clean energy carrier, but producing it efficiently and sustainably remains a major challenge. A new study ...

New solar energy research has demonstrated that electrons can move across solar panels at a speed far greater than previously understood.
