When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

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 loses ...

The most important variables are structural, not cultural. by Safi Bahcall When I first became a CEO, at age 33, I read everything I could find about legendary business leaders and the companies they ...

A new generation of electron microscopes is able to explore the microscopic properties of materials and devices as diverse as transistors, turbine blades and interfacial superconductors. All of these ...

Thermal means heat. Decomposing is the process of breaking down. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction that happens when a compound breaks down when heated. When sodium hydrogencarbonate is ...

When an object, such as a spring, is stretched, the increased length is called its extension. Key fact Hooke's law: The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...
