Advancements in technology combined with the rediscovery of new ‘reagentless’ activation methods—such as using light in photochemistry and electrons in electrochemistry—have changed the way ...

When metals give away their electrons, they do so with a certain force. This force is measured in volts. When two different metals are connected together in a cell, the metal with the higher force ...

For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, when two different materials come in contact, like in a computer chip, these vibrations often ...
