Rethinking the formation and growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), key contributors to harmful soot particles formed during fuel combustion and the smallest dust grains in interstellar ...

DGIST (President: Kuk Yang) announced on the 26th that Professor Park Jin-hee’s team at the Department of Physics and Chemistry generated new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and successfully ...

Pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) from Escherichia coli uses a radical mechanism to reversibly cleave the C1-C2 bond of pyruvate using the Gly 734 radical and two cysteine residues (Cys 418, Cys 419). We ...

Water treatment plants across the globe rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals, the aggressive molecular fragments that rip apart pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, and industrial ...

To improve water treatment, researchers use modeling to understand how chemical byproducts form during the advanced oxidation process. Synthetical chemicals are ever-present in modern life—in our ...

How do radicals form in aqueous solutions when exposed to UV light? This question is important for health research and environmental protection. For example, with regard to the overfertilization of ...
