For the past 5 years, chemical engineer Ankur Gupta of the University of Colorado Boulder has wondered what rules govern the diffusion of ions through the winding nanoscale tunnels within a ...

Gas‐phase ion chemistry remains a vibrant field that elucidates fundamental interatomic and intermolecular interactions through the study of charged species in isolation. The investigation of bond ...

Hybrid traps for laser-cooled ions and neutral atoms make excellent cold-chemistry laboratories. Experiments now show that engineering quantum states can provide additional control for accessing and ...

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Christie G. Enke and Richard A. Yost didn’t set out to make a mass spectrometer. Their goal was to completely computerize an analytical instrument. It was 1975, still the early days of teaming up ...

Although initially set up to recognize the most beneficial contributions to humankind, it is not every year that a Nobel Prize winning discovery has had such widespread impact. Look at it this way: ...

Creating a rechargeable world has earned three scientists the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry. John B. Goodenough of the University of Texas at Austin, M. Stanley Whittingham of Binghamton University in ...

Batteries are usually studied via electrical properties like voltage and current, but new research suggests that observing how heat flows in conjunction with electricity can give important insights ...
