Researchers in China have made the tin(IV)/tin(II) redox couple reversible in water by adding iodide to tin chloride ...

A protein named tau, which has been strongly implicated in the world's No. 1 cause of dementia—Alzheimer's disease—and several other neurodegenerative disorders, may spur these diseases in a way that ...

The role of plastocyanin in regulating photosynthetic and high light response remains unclear. Here we found that a larger PC pool effectively increased the linear electron flow while lowering the ...

A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the motion of electrons flows in the same way water flows in a pipe—fundamentally changing from particle-like to ...

A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

Brain lesions beset with smoldering inflammation, and myeloid cells around their edges, define multiple sclerosis. This might be due, in part, to the flipping of electron flow within microglia, ...

Agricultural runoff, wastewater, and fossil fuel burning can increase environmental nitrogen, promoting toxic algal blooms and depleting oxygen in waterways. One approach to managing this on a large ...

For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering ...

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and suggesting a low-energy route to faster electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Though they are discrete particles, water molecules flow collectively as liquids, producing streams, waves, whirlpools, and other classic fluid phenomena. Not so with electricity. While an electric ...

Swiss cheese conductor. Arrows indicate electron flow patterns predicted by computer simulations for a hole lattice in two different orientations. Colors denote electric potential (voltage), and ...
