It is generally assumed that the hydrated electron occupies a quasi-spherical cavity surrounded by only a few water molecules in its equilibrated state. However, in the very moment of its generation, ...

An insulating bulk state is a prerequisite for the protection of topological edge states 1. In quantum Hall systems, the thermal excitation of delocalized electrons is the main route to breaking bulk ...

Researchers in the lab of University of Oregon chemist Shih-Yuan Liu have successfully synthesized and structurally characterized boron-nitrogen compounds that are isoelectronic and isostructural to ...

Phenyl radicals have been prepared and trapped in a variety of solid matrices by the reaction of either sodium or potassium atoms with iodobenzene on the surface of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers at Purdue University have identified the mechanism that allows organic solar cells to create a charge, solving a longstanding puzzle in physics, according to a paper ...
