In the depths of our solar system — a realm where chemistry meets speculation — scientists have reported the possible existence of a molecule known as aquodiium, an elusive cousin of the ammonium ion.

All acidic aqueous solutions contain protonated water, known commonly as the hydronium ion (H 3 O +). Brønsted acids release one or more of their protons (hydrogen ions), which combine with water ...

LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, August 8, 2011—A Los Alamos National Laboratory research team has harnessed neutrons to view for the first time the critical role that an elusive molecule plays in certain ...

Scientists capture the short-lived hydroxyl-hydronium pair and the induced dynamic response in ionized liquid water in unprecedented detail. Water gives rise to ultrafast reactions when it is ...

Researchers have uncovered a key step in the ionization of liquid water using the lab's high-speed 'electron camera,' MeV-UED. This reaction is of fundamental significance to a wide range of fields, ...

Zeolites are extremely porous materials: Ten grams can have an internal surface area the size of a soccer field. Their cavities make them useful in catalyzing chemical reactions and thus saving energy ...

A molecule that can't be formed on Earth may lurk within Neptune — and Uranus, too. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. In the depths ...
