Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

Exploration of the unique chemical properties of interfaces can unlock new understanding. A
striking example is the finding of accelerated reactions, particularly spontaneous oxidation …

With the global trend towards carbon neutrality, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is
continuously increasing. However, current recycling methods for spent LIBs need urgent …

A major challenge in nanotechnology is the fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D)
structures with desired materials. We present a strategy for fabricating arbitrary 3D …

Despite the high stability of bulk water, water microdroplets possess strikingly different
properties, such as the presence of hydroxyl radicals (OH⋅) at the air–water interface …

The field of nonadiabatic dynamics has matured over the last decade with a range of
algorithms and electronic structure methods available at the moment. While the community …

Mutual neutralization of hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH−) ions is a very fundamental
chemical reaction. Yet, there is only limited experimental evidence about the underlying …

Directly imaging structural dynamics involving hydrogen atoms by ultrafast diffraction
methods is complicated by their low scattering cross sections. Here we demonstrate that …

The photo-induced radiolysis of water is an elementary reaction in biology and chemistry,
forming solvated electrons, OH radicals, and hydronium cations on fast time scales. Here …

Upon ionization, water forms a highly acidic radical cation H2O+· that undergoes ultrafast
proton transfer (PT)—a pivotal step in water radiation chemistry, initiating the production of …
