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 ...

Hydrogen is widely seen as a key energy source for the future, which makes it critical to understand how water is split during electrolysis ...

Cold cosmic dust grains can link amino acids into protein‑like chains in deep space, suggesting life’s chemistry may begin ...

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

The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists found that simple amino acids bond into peptides on interstellar dust, long ...

In a first for tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel research, a cross-cutting effort among scientists at the Department of ...

In proppant stability evaluations, LithX mobilized only a very small fraction of edge-bound silica, with no evidence of bulk silica dissolution or catastrophic matrix attack, indicating negligible ...

Plastic waste is no longer just an eyesore floating on the surface of rivers and seas. A growing body of research now shows ...

Grundfos enables data center operators to optimize cooling performance through advanced water treatment solutions that reduce ...

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.
