Radical chemistry in aqueous solutions encompasses the study of highly reactive species generated in water, which play critical roles in biological, environmental and industrial processes. In such ...

Scientists have measured how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on the molecule's opposite side. This work shows how molecules containing these ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals may be familiar to you; these are the ...

Smartphone torchlight powerful enough to generate bactericidal oxygen-centred organic radicals to purify water ...

You wouldn’t think that a paper published in 1900 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society with a rather unimposing ...

You may have heard that antioxidants are an important part of your diet – but what are they and what do they do? Generally, antioxidants balance out something called oxidants or free radicals, which ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory helped measure how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can drive chemical reactivity on ...
