Proton transfer dynamics in nucleic acids underpin several fundamental aspects of genetic stability and variation. This process involves the movement of protons along hydrogen bonds connecting ...

Hydrogen cations (H +) play an important role in fundamental processes in biology 1, chemistry and materials science 2. They participate in enzymatic catalysis, protein folding and numerous acid–base ...

Scientists have zoomed in on how phosphoric acid moves electrical charges so efficiently in both biology and technology. By ...

Whether in our bodies or in fuel cells, phosphoric acid plays an important role in many chemical processes because it is exceptionally good at transporting charges. Researchers from the Department of ...

In HT-PEMFCs, hydrogen is oxidized at the anode to generate protons, which are transported to the cathode through the proton conductor phosphoric acid in the high-temperature proton exchange membrane.
