In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

oxidation is the loss of electrons reduction is the gain of electrons All of the half equations occurring at the cathode show electrons being gained, so they all show reduction taking place. The ...

Batteries have been around for a long time and new ones are constantly being developed in academia or industry. This article takes a look at redox flow batteries and the applications they are commonly ...

The human body relies heavily on electrical charges. Lightning-like pulses of energy fly through the brain and nerves and most biological processes depend on electrical ions traveling across the ...

An international team of scientists led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy from the University of Vienna has discovered a new microbial metabolism: so-called MISO bacteria "breathe" ...
