This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are shared by both atoms. The atoms bond because there is a strong enough attraction in both directions and room for the electrons in the ...

The findings are published in Science. Organic molecules, which contain carbon, typically conform to specific shapes because ...

Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile ...

C ovalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, form the scaffolding that underpins ...

"It destroys creativity when we have rules that supposedly can't be overcome," the California-based researchers said.

Writing with atoms marks a new era in quantum materials, enabling scientists to engineer atomic-scale properties for quantum ...

Neil Garg is leading the charge to rewrite a fundamental principle that's been part of organic chemistry since 1924 -- ...

known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond involves two carbon atoms sharing just one electron. The ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) claim to have developed a new method that can allow ...

A new technique selectively removes nitrogen atoms from rotaxanes and forms a stabilising carbon–carbon bond, without ...

Professor Yong-Hoon Kim's team from the School of Electrical Engineering succeeded for the first time in accelerating quantum ...
