The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the fact that its simplest form consists of only one proton and one electron, ...
In a feat of modern-day alchemy, atom tinkerers have fooled hydrogen atoms into accepting a helium atom as one of their own. The camouflaged atom behaves chemically like hydrogen, but has four times ...
Science Daily: A new take on the abilities of hydrogen binding energy for use in single atom catalysts
A new take on the abilities of hydrogen binding energy for use in single atom catalysts
Deuterium, a heavier but less abundant version of the hydrogen atom, has many practical applications. Unfortunately, producing deuterium and using it to protect silicon-based semiconductors requires a ...

Nanowerk: A cleaner way to make hydrogen starts with a single atom
Anchoring single metal atoms on ultrathin supports improves catalyst efficiency and stability, making hydrogen production cleaner, more scalable, and less dependent on scarce metals. (Nanowerk ...
The two-dimensional sheet of sp 2-hybridized carbon atoms in graphene helps grant the material unique and useful chemical, material, and electronic properties. Adding hydrogen atoms to the carbons can ...

A new take on the abilities of hydrogen binding energy for use in single-atom catalysts
A nearly 400 year-old formula for pi has been spotted in a quantum-mechanics formula for the energy states of the hydrogen atom, according to researchers in the US. Derived by English mathematician ...
