In what's being hailed as an important first for chemistry, an international team of scientists has developed a new technology that can selectively rearrange atomic bonds within a single molecule. The ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical reaction that breaks the strongest bond in a molecule instead of the weakest, completely reversing the norm for reactions in which bonds are evenly split to ...

"SOMETIMES IT SEEMS to me that a bond between two atoms has become so real, so tangible, so friendly, that I can almost see it. Then I awake with a little shock, for a chemical bond is not a real ...

We all remember the basic principles taught in high school chemistry class: There are three types of chemical bonds. However, covalent, ionic and metallic have a little competition now. There’s a new ...

Could helium molecules form in very high magnetic fields? In the extreme magnetic fields of white dwarves and neutron stars, a third type of chemical bonding can occur. That is the finding of ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles of various types can be quickly and permanently bonded to a solid substrate, if one of the most effective methods of synthesis, click chemistry, is used for this purpose.

Quantum chemists have discovered a new type of chemical bond in molecules that contain two uranium atoms. A total of ten electrons -- the equivalent of five covalent bonds -- are involved in the bonds ...

Jan. 17 (UPI) --Everything depends on chemical bonds. Without chemical bonds, everything would fall apart. And yet, scientists don't entirely understand how chemical bonding works. Now, for the first ...

Our colleagues at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) recently released an important report—“Public Attitudes to Chemistry”—that was based on interviews and opinion polls of the general public as ...

Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots. With ...
