Is it possible to know all voltages/amps in a grid or matrix of resistors?

Yup, those cases are about equilibrium vs. nonequilibrium conditions, and also energy levels relative to orbits and such.

Chemistry isn't very meaningful under nonequilibrium conditions; it can be done, but it takes heroic effort (e.g., studying single-molecule reactions with lasers and a frozen argon matrix).

Some beta decays do result in ions directly -- read up on the "electron capture" process.

I like to say nothing is a stronger Bronsted-Lowry acid than a proton beam, but given that it's more of a mechanical effect (sheer kinetic energy sputters the target away), it's kind of a silly claim.

Conversely, I suppose vacuum tubes have to deal with the strongest possible Lewis acid/base, but electrons are rather easier to deal with than protons, even at modest energies (100s keV).  Insulators may not find it very pleasant (see Lichtenberg figures!), but it seems metals have little problem with that!

I knew you were going to say that. Would be interesting if we could mix wet chemistry with bare particles from electric devices. Build atoms like legos. We could have cures to almost all dieses.  The strongest acid would be HHe; Helium hydride if you could make it stable pH of -40 or something ridiculous.
