Many experimental and theoretical advances have recently allowed the study of direct and
indirect effects of low-energy electrons (LEEs) on DNA damage. In an effort to explain how …

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 …

We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under
mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer …

When high-energy radiation passes through aqueous material, low-energy electrons are
produced which cause DNA damage. Electronic states of anionic nucleobases have been …

When ionizing radiation passes biological matter, a large number of secondary electrons
with very low energies (< 3 eV) is produced. It is known that such electrons cause an efficient …

This review article provides a concise overview of electron involvement in DNA radiation
damage. The review begins with the various states of radiation-produced electrons …

We report the effect of the DNA hydration level on damage yields induced by soft X-rays and
photoemitted low-energy electrons (LEEs) in thin films of plasmid DNA irradiated in N2 at …

DNA damage induced via dissociative attachment by low-energy electrons (0 to 20 eV) is
well studied in both gas and condensed phases. However, the reactivity of ultrashort-lived …

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 …

Hypoxia a hallmark of solid tumors makes hypoxic cells radioresistant. On the other
hand, DNA, the main target of anticancer therapy, is not sensitive to the near UV photons …
