Over 99% of the observable universe is made of plasma. About 71% of the planet we live on
is covered by liquid. Yet, the interaction between both states of matter does not occur so …

Existence of a hydrated electron as a byproduct of water radiolysis was established more
than 50 years ago, yet this species continues to attract significant attention due to its role in …

Solvated electrons are powerful reducing agents capable of driving some of the most
energetically expensive reduction reactions. Their generation under mild and sustainable …

Understanding redox and photochemical reactions in aqueous environments requires a
precise knowledge of the ionization potential and electron affinity of liquid water. The former …

Recently there has been a revival of interest in the basic structure of the aqueous or
“hydrated” electron, e−(aq). According to the conventional picture, this species occupies a …

Electron transfer plays a crucial part in many chemical reactions,, including photosynthesis,
combustion and corrosion. But even though redox-state transitions change the electronic …

Solvated electrons are among the most reductive species in an aqueous environment.
Diamond materials have been proposed as a promising source of solvated electrons, but the …

Damage to DNA via dissociative electron attachment has been well-studied in both the gas
and condensed phases; however, understanding this process in bulk solution at a …

The fundamental band gaps of liquid water and hexagonal ice are calculated through
advanced electronic-structure methods. We compare specifically the performance of state-of …

Experiments have suggested that the aqueous electron, e–(aq), may play a significant role
in the radiation chemistry of DNA. A recent measurement of the energy (below vacuum level) …
