An international team of chemists has successfully created methylenedistibiranes, which are three-membered rings that have two antimony atoms and one carbon atom. In their paper published in the ...

Examples abound of rings that feature multiple nitrogen atoms—the lightest of the pnictogen elements. There are triazoles, ...

A University at Buffalo study reveals that a strain isolated from contaminated soil can break down the strong carbon-fluorine ...

Microsoft researchers report that when the system was given over 608,000 stable materials from databases, it was able to ...

After a breakdown in US-Russia relations, Riken finds itself ahead of its rivals. And Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...

“If bacteria survive in a harsh, polluted environment, it’s probably because they have adapted to use surrounding chemical ...

In what they're calling the "highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved," researchers created a super-strong flexible ...

In chemistry, a covalent bond occurs when two atoms share an electron, merging together to produce a stronger, more permanent ...

Back in the old days—the really old days—the task of designing materials was laborious. Investigators, over the course of ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, have numerous practical applications in areas that include electronics in transistors, sensors and detectors; as battery and fuel cell electrodes; and ...

One that should be easiest to solve involves modeling the behavior of some simple catalysts. The electrons of these catalysts ...
