Electron transfer is a powerful way to accomplish chemical transformations, especially when driven by light or electricity.

In chemistry, the shape of a molecule matters. Different arrangements of the same molecule are called isomers, and scientists have spent decades pondering how that shape affects chemical reactions.

Valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of an atom, play an important role in driving chemical reactions and forming bonds with other atoms. But imaging these particles as they perform this ...

Scientists used an ultrafast X-ray laser to follow the impact of a single electron moving within a molecule during an entire chemical reaction. (Nanowerk News) Valence electrons, located in the ...

A key chemical reaction—in which the movement of protons between the surface of an electrode and an electrolyte drives an electric current—is a critical step in many energy technologies, including ...
