The chemistry of porphycenes has evolved into a dynamic field that bridges coordination chemistry and proton transfer mechanisms. Unique among macrocycles, porphycenes are structural isomers of ...

Proton therapy is a promising form of radiation treatment used to kill cancerous cells and effectively halt their rapid reproduction, and the fundamental understanding for it is contained in the ...

If there are only two things to be said about proton therapy, the first is that it is superior in treatment quality for cancer patients, and the second is that the technology bears a considerable cost ...

New Haven, Conn. — The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to ...

For almost a decade, physicists have been baffled by the so-called proton radium puzzle: using different methods of measurement, they obtained two numbers that are slightly yet significantly different ...

The ubiquitous class of channel proteins known as aquaporins provides a path for water to cross cell membranes while blocking the passage of protons. When the first structural pictures of aquaporins ...

The results of a new experiment could shift research of the proton by reviving previously discarded theories of its inner workings. Asymmetry in the proton confounds physicists, but a new discovery ...

The first “atoms” in the universe were not atoms at all—they were just nuclei that had not found electrons yet. The simplest nucleus, that of common hydrogen, is a bare proton with no frills. When the ...
