Researchers at Ritsumeikan University have made an organic conductor that can be solution proceesed. "The study therefore ...

Quantum dots are tiny, man-made structures often called “artificial atoms” because they can trap and control electrons in ...

Electron transfer is a process by which an electron moves from one atom or molecule to another. It is a key concept in redox chemistry – the chemistry of reactions where one reaction partner ...

Unsubstituted π-electronic systems with expanded π-planes are highly desirable for improving charge-carrier transport in ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is a cornerstone tool of modern physics, chemistry, and engineering used to explore the behavior of electrons. While ...

Pitt researcher Karl Johnson and scholar Priyanka Bholanath Shukla collaborate to help strengthen an essential electron theory ...

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making its ...

Breakthrough in N2 activation! This study unveils an electron catalysis strategy that directly converts N2 into azo compounds under mild conditions—a game-changer for nitrogen fixation. By harnessing ...

Besides, the frontier molecular orbitals and possible synthetic routes are also expounded. These results can be used for comparison with the properties of some familiar explosives and polynitrogen ...

albeit with slightly larger slices of bread made from cyclooctatetraene (COT), which is a better fit for the heavy metal’s 5f electron orbitals. Sandwiches of COT with other actinides soon ...
