A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo have spent years testing the limits of chemical bonds. And now, after years of work, they've finally explored an idea originally proposed in 1931: a ...

(Nanowerk News) Ever since it was proposed that atoms are building blocks of the world, scientists have been trying to understand how and why they bond to each other. Be it a molecule (which is a ...

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 ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...

A newly evolved enzyme could one day make silicone compounds biodegradable. For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn human-made bonds between silicon and carbon ...

Figure 1 BNOSE, a high-performance, chemically recoverable elastomer design based on boron-nitrogen (B-N) coordination and boron-oxygen (B-O) dynamic bonding. Elastomers, or thermoplastics, are ...
