Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing ...

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along ...

More than 150 million metric tons of propylene are produced annually, making it one of the most widespread chemicals used in ...

A new light-activated catalyst breaks and resets carbon–halogen bonds to convert racemic mixtures into enantiomerically ...

France's discovery of naturally occurring "white hydrogen" in underground reservoirs presents a potential zero-carbon energy ...

Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom feels the attraction from the proton in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are ...

A study in Engineering reveals a new adsorbent made by combining cationic surfactants with montmorillonite. This adsorbent ...

Germany's network regulator on Wednesday proposed a fixed annual fee of 25 euros ($27) per kilowatt-hour per hour to use the ...

According to one theory, the water molecules form clusters, within which they are then connected by hydrogen bonds. The Bochum-based team has now disproven this hypothesis using a combination of ...

Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Hydrophobic side chains interact with each other via weak van der Waals interactions.
