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 ...

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

The research progress of HEMs as the catalysts for electrochemical water electrolysis in terms of theoretical research, synthesis, and application. The specific properties of HEMs have profound ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

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 ...
