Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel that could power steel mills, cargo ships and even long-haul trucks without pumping carbon into the atmosphere, but splitting water to make it has ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

nside electrochemical devices, strong electric fields dramatically alter how water molecules behave. New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but ...
