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.

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...

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 ...
