For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

"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 ...

More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of ...

Congratulations on “Chemical Connections,” which summarizes the peculiar history of our understanding of the nature of the chemical bond (C&EN, Sept. 9, page 28). I agree with most of the article, ...

First, the researchers used a short laser pulse about 200 nanometers in wavelength to excite ammonia molecules. This pump ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Scientists have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding ...

The molecular tool, described by the committee as “great art in a test tube,” has transformed organic chemistry and paved the way for a whole class of sophisticated chemicals used in technology, ...

A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing, as well as exchanging, of electrons -or electrostatic forces ...
