The chemistry of porphycenes has evolved into a dynamic field that bridges coordination chemistry and proton transfer mechanisms. Unique among macrocycles, porphycenes are structural isomers of ...

Hydrogen cations (H +) play an important role in fundamental processes in biology 1, chemistry and materials science 2. They participate in enzymatic catalysis, protein folding and numerous acid–base ...

Proton therapy is a promising form of radiation treatment used to kill cancerous cells and effectively halt their rapid reproduction, and the fundamental understanding for it is contained in the ...

Abstract: Ionic liquids (ILs) can function as solvents for Bronsted acids to enhance proton conductivities for a variety of electrochemical and organic synthesis applications. The underlying ...

If there are only two things to be said about proton therapy, the first is that it is superior in treatment quality for cancer patients, and the second is that the technology bears a considerable cost ...

For almost a decade, physicists have been baffled by the so-called proton radium puzzle: using different methods of measurement, they obtained two numbers that are slightly yet significantly different ...

The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...

Japanese scientists have made a new (nu?) periodic table organized by the number of protons in the nucleus instead of the element’s number of electrons. They call it the Nucletouch table, and where ...
