The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.

An interdisciplinary team presents a new class of chemical compounds that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. The compounds known as 'pyrazinacenes' are simple, stable compounds that consist of a ...

Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Researchers have unveiled crucial details about how a common freshwater bacterium, Methylobacter sp. YHQ, manages the ...

A redox flow battery operates on the electrochemical principle of storing and generating electricity through oxidation and reduction reactions between distinct active materials, hence called "Redox" ...

With ever-worsening climate change, there is a growing need for technologies that can capture and use up the atmospheric CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and reduce our carbon footprint. Within the realm of ...

Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products like pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are examining a previously overlooked and ...
