Legionnaires' disease cases have increased nearly tenfold in recent decades, leading to hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and deaths. Outbreaks are linked to Legionella, a bacteria found in ...

Light interacting with hydrogen atoms enclosed in hollow cages composed of carbon atoms produces ionization. This phenomenon is particularly interesting because the light rays can have dramatic ...

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

Bipolar ionization technology releases charged atoms that attach to and deactivate harmful substances like bacteria, mold, allergens, and viruses. It first arrived in the US in the 1970s as a tool to ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

To break free from an atom, the negatively charged electron typically has to absorb a high-energy photon, such as that from the ultraviolet (UV) or x-ray spectrum. The electron then gets excited ...

Ionization systems, installed in medical device manufacturing facilities’ gown-up rooms and product transfer areas have proven to be critical components in reducing particle counts in the associated ...
