Skoltech researchers have theoretically investigated the wide range of molecules that oxygen and carbon atoms can form in ...

Everything we can see and touch, and quite a lot that we can’t as well, is made of tiny particles called atoms. Some substances, like particles of this iron, contain only one kind of atom.

Carbon, with its myriad compounds, is the backbone of life and the central element of organic chemistry. The number of bonds ...

An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

The astronauts have left and Space Station Seven is in chaos! Our hero Linus — a genetically modified rat — has knowledge of chemistry and a thirst for adventure! Can one rat make a difference? Can he ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...

Researchers named the compound “berkelocene” because it is comparable to the compound “uranocene,” a uranium-containing ...

Researchers are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon. Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can ...

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists ...
