A peculiar type of atom can be induced to form a ‘ghost’ chemical bond with a nonexistent atom, according to new calculations. A highly excited atom that includes a loosely bound electron has the ...

Chemists seeking strange new structures from the main group of elements have bagged two long-sought species with boron at their cores. Researchers in Germany report the synthesis of the world’s first ...

If atoms did not connect to one another, everything we know would not exist. The Sun, the Earth, animals, plants, us — we are all based on that single chemical process when two atoms bond and form ...

TEAR up that old textbook. A pyramid-shaped carbon molecule that contradicts one of the most basic chemistry lessons we learn at school has been studied for the first time. It contains a carbon atom ...

A molecule originally proposed more than 40 years ago breaks the rules about how carbon connects to other atoms, scientists have confirmed. In this unusual instance, a carbon atom bonds to six other ...

Hydrogen-bonding pairing regulates protein-ligand affinity; helps improve drug design. Infections with bacterium Clostridium difficile have rapidly become a significant medical problem in hospitals ...
