The principles of electrochemistry have long employed an electrical framework of understanding to characterize various chemical reactions (mostly oxidation and reduction reactions, tabulated in a so-called redox reaction list). However, it came so my attention from scroll addiction that MIT has recently discovered a way to employ applied voltage to reactions which do not fall under the conceptual umbrella of redox reactions. This post is a note to keep tab on this discovery.
