New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

A new study identifies how water becomes ionized under electrochemical conditions. Hydrogen is expected to play a major role ...

The sensory proteins that control the motion of bacteria constantly fluctuate. AMOLF researchers, together with international collaborators from ETH Zurich and University of Utah, found out that these ...

Nuclear energy provides access to clean, reliable and affordable electricity. It accounts for around 9% of global electricity and 25% of all low-carbon electricity without emitting greenhouse gases at ...

The origin of life from Earth's primordial chemistry has long fascinated and perplexed us. Generations of scientists have endeavored to understand how complex biochemistry developed from organic ...
