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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study focuses on the oxygen evolution reaction, a key process in water electrolysis for hydrogen production. Researchers identified a critical transition point in catalyst kinetics using a ...
