The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

Since the electron has a large magnetic moment, this state will contribute considerably to the magnetic moment of the proton. Since, however, the β-decay constant is exceedingly small in nuclear ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions play a vital role in a wide range of chemical and biological processes. Recent advances in the theory of PCET will be presented. The quantum ...
