Theory suggests that many chemical reactions (not simply, as is often thought, redox reactions) might be catalysed by an applied electric field; experimental evidence for this is now provided from ...

Strong, specific electrostatic binding of crown ethers may advance sensors, ... This capability allows chemists to organize a collection of separately weak bonding interactions, ...

Water molecules on cold surfaces require some additional heat before they can form ice, an international research team has discovered. Their novel experiment found that water molecules on a cold ...

Powerful electric fields from a laser pulse can momentarily weaken the electrostatic bonds and enable the electron to quantum-mechanically tunnel away from the atom.
