The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the fact that its simplest form consists of only one proton and one electron, ...

Scientists have caught fast-moving hydrogen atoms—the keys to countless biological and chemical reactions—in action. A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator ...

The hydrogen atom: the universe built almost everything with it. Synthetic chemists are only just learning to use it in the ...

Bringing protons up to speed with strong laser pulses—this still young concept promises many advantages over conventional accelerators. For instance, it seems possible to build much more compact ...

Nuclear reactors that use heavy water can employ a form of uranium commonly found in nature (U-238) rather than requiring so ...

A mechanistic study finds that molecular hydrogen can complement permeating hydrogen atoms in electrochemical palladium membrane reactors, with catalyst composition and proximity to the membrane ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...
