This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American A while ago, I wrote a couple of posts ...

Understanding the behavior of materials at their interfaces — where they connect to and interact with other materials — is central to engineering a variety of devices used to process, store and ...

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 ...

From the salt in your kitchen to cutting-edge thermoelectrics, chemical bonding shapes the materials we rely on every day. Researchers are now uncovering how tweaking these bonds can unlock new ...

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...

A team of chemists from the University of Vienna, led by Nuno Maulide, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating ...

Chemical reactions drive life. They ensure that cells obtain energy, proteins perform their functions, and DNA changes under ...

A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...
