In a step forward for soft robotics and biomedical devices, Rice University engineers have uncovered a powerful new way to ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better ...

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

In one of Stanford’s labs, a roll of Scotch tape spins under a motorized roller. To the untrained eye, it’s an ordinary strip of office supplies. But to a group of chemists, that humble peel carries ...

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and precise ...

Electrocatalytic C–N reductive coupling offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to producing value-added oximes. The challenge lies in the overstrong chemisorption of N-containing intermediates ...

Researchers have finally figured out how to create a single-electron bond, and it's the first new bond we've discovered in over a decade.

For the first time ever, scientists have successfully observed how valence electrons behave in organic molecules. This gives us a clearer picture of the complex nature of chemical bonds that make up ...

As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons, the findings shine light on the fundamental nature of chemical bonds, with implications for pharmacy and chemical engineering.

Understanding chemical bond variations is the soul of chemistry as it is essential for any chemical process. The evolution of hydrogen bonds is one of the most fundamental and emblematic events during ...
