Controlling and trapping molecules, units of a substance consisting of two or more chemically bound atoms, with laser light ...

Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theory predicts that when crushed by the weight of more than a million times our atmosphere, this light, abundant, normally gaseous element first ...

Hydride transfer lies at the heart of numerous organic transformations, encompassing reductions of carbonyls, imines and unsaturated systems. In essence, a hydride (H–) migrates from a donor molecule ...

Ionic transport has been studied extensively over the years for energy devices such as fuel cells and batteries using Li+, H+, Ag+, Cu+, F-, and O2-. Yet as researchers point out in a recent report, ...

This research could also lead to breakthroughs in harnessing fusion energy on Earth. Researchers created solid binary gold hydride, a compound of gold and hydrogen atoms The study was conducted using ...

Oxyhydride thin films represent a burgeoning class of mixed-anion materials in which hydride (H–) and oxide (O2–) anions coexist within a crystalline or amorphous matrix. The incorporation of hydride ...

Right after the Big Bang, only a small number of types of atoms existed, including helium and hydrogen. A major milestone in the development of the early universe was the time, around 100,000 years ...

Hydride transfer is an important reaction for chemistry (e.g., fuel cells), as well as biology (e.g., respiratory chain and photosynthesis). Often, one partial reaction involves the transfer of a ...

Scientists have long suspected that, around 100,000 years after the big bang, helium and hydrogen combined to form the first molecule, helium hydride. That helped the universe begin to cool and led to ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
