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 ...

Refractory high-entropy ceramics are attractive for use in extreme environments. Here, non-equimolar refractory metal high-entropy nitrides exhibit 6.9 GPa strength at 1000 °C during micromechanical ...

A study reveals that cells produce excess heat as a 'tax' for maintaining chemical reactions far from equilibrium for ...

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

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