Electron affinity, defined as the energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom, is a fundamental parameter in understanding atomic reactivity and material properties. Negative ion ...

Attosecond science, honored with the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, is transforming our understanding of how electrons move in atoms, molecules, and solids. An attosecond—equivalent to a billionth of a ...

There’s a particular set of chemical reactions that governs many of the processes around us—everything from bridges corroding in water to your breakfast breaking down in your gut. One crucial part of ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Scientists used an ultrafast electron microscope to capture the nanosecond changes in a material during electrical pulsing. Understanding these changes may lead to more energy-efficient electronics.
