Life on Earth relies upon an astonishingly short list of elements. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen compose the essential ...

The trihydrogen cation plays a major role in interstellar chemistry where it facilitates the formation of water and organic molecules. Researchers have discovered how the cation forms when organic ...

Highly dilute metal ions can aggregate in a high-temperature ionic-liquid medium and form long-lived clusters. The unexpected finding, which is the result of a study that combines experiment and ...

Little is known about how the proteins forming ion channels -- the 'pores' on the cell membrane -- change when they open and close, especially the portion that is 'embedded' in the membrane.

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

The QTOF‐GCMS instrument integrates the excellent mass accuracy of the quadrupole time‐of‐flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer with the proven gas phase chromatography techniques. 1 Da (mass accuracy in ...
