The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

Moreover, this strategy controls the push and pull of electrons electrochemically. The diazo radical intermediate ([Ar-N 2] ) ...

Shining a green laser on N-V diamonds can stimulate those electrons to jump up to higher energy states, releasing red light when they return to the ground state.

The iron and molybdenum in the nitrogenase are known to give away electrons to the nitrogen molecule, a process called reduction. This causes the bond between the two N atoms to break.

Liquid nitrogen is fun stuff to play with, as long as you’re careful and avoid freezing your own fingers off and shattering them on the workbench.

ITHACA, N.Y. - A collaboration between researchers from Cornell, Harvard, Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has resulted in a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst that pries apart ...

Molecular nitrogen (dinitrogen, N=N) ... In 2003, my group showed that it is possible to make ammonia catalytically from dinitrogen, protons, and electrons.

While researchers have long suspected that this type of nitrogen that lacks two specific electrons -- a nitrene -- was tied to reactivity, the elusive species had yet to be directly spotted.

The northern lights arise when electrons from space cascade into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules to paint the sky red and green (SN: 2/7/20). But it has ...

A constant flow of nitrogen gas enters the ECD, and the beta particles ionize the gas releasing a cloud of electrons. A baseline current from the nitrogen electrons is determined by the detector. When ...
