Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor ...

A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research made a striking discovery—a protein with contradictory properties: a strongly negative charge, yet a very high propensity ...

When two objects have the same static charge, they move away or repel one another. Rubbing a balloon on hair causes electrons to move from your hair onto the balloon, giving the balloon a negative ...

Researchers have unlocked a new way to manipulate electrons in molecules with terahertz light, paving the way for faster ...

For example, a negative charge causes a repulsive force on a neighbouring ... Since electrons are so small and one electron will not have much of an effect anywhere, it is more useful to refer ...

The negative charge of electrons balances the positive ... to track and predict their movement. Scientists compare electron motion to ripples in a pond—sometimes forming smooth waves and other ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...
