NO SCHOOL chemistry textbook is complete without a detailed enumeration of the basic types of chemical bond: covalent, ionic and metallic. And for good reason, because bonds are the glue that binds ...

Bonds between atoms are electrical in character: atoms share electrons or mutually ionize, creating an attractive force binding them together. However, researchers are now suggesting that it may be ...

There’s a new bond in town, and this secret agent works best in extreme situations. The bond, of the chemical variety, occurs in the presence of very strong magnetic fields, such as those found around ...

One atom or molecule binds to another through various types of bond, the strengths of which range from several meV to several eV. Although some computational methods can provide accurate descriptions ...

The continual growth of bioorthogonal chemical reactions in the past decade has offered an unprecedented opportunity for the study and manipulation of biological processes within living systems 1,2,3.

Suppose I take some hydrogen gas (H 2) and mix it with oxygen gas (O 2). What happens? Nothing. Nothing happens unless you add a bit of energy—from a spark, perhaps. Add energy and BOOM: You get an ...

Researchers at The Ohio State University found that ultrasound technology could be one way of breaking up the strong bonds that make "forever chemicals" so hard to get rid of. Professor Linda Weavers, ...
