A group of scientists from Durham University and University of York have twisted molecules to their breaking point in order to challenge the understanding of chemical bonds. The researchers explored ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned the nickname of forever chemicals from their extraordinary ability to stick around in the environment long after they’ve been used.

Researchers around the world are working to develop efficient materials to convert CO2 into usable chemical substances -- work that is particularly pressing in view of global warming. A team has ...

It’s difficult to make molecules using elements that lie beyond uranium on the periodic table, which has hampered progress in studying how actinides form bonds. Now chemists have expanded the library ...

For the first time, researchers have created a solid compound containing a beryllium-beryllium bond (Science 2023, DOI: 10.1126/science.adh4419). The compound is diberyllocene, in which each beryllium ...

The challenge to build a better molecule is a constant for researchers working with Princeton’s David MacMillan, who in October won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. The latest work from the team, ...
