The adsorption of molecules on semiconductor surfaces is a pivotal process underpinning advances in electronics, catalysis and sensor technology. This phenomenon involves both physisorption, where ...

Understanding how molecules interact with metal surfaces is fundamental to catalysis and surface chemistry. However, traditional computational methods face a trade-off: achieving high accuracy often ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in surface science by introducing a new active mechanism of adsorption. Such adsorption-based phenomena, in which molecules are attracted onto a solid surface, ...

Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

A research team demonstrates that common agricultural and forestry residues—flax shives and eucalyptus sawdust—can be transformed into powerful magnetic carbon-based adsorbents capable of removing the ...
