NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has detected the largest organic (carbon-containing) molecules ever found on the red planet. The ...

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

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a ...

Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

The essence of chemical synthesis is to transform simple ... The redox reactions affect the number of covalent bonds that a carbon makes to a heteroatom substituent, such as nitrogen and oxygen.

Researchers at the Universities of Amsterdam and Zurich have developed a molecular system for the controlled release of iron.

Researchers develop a nickel catalyst that converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 99% selectivity by precisely ...

The gas giants outside our solar system are not capable of hosting extraterrestrial life, but do offer clues in a lingering ...

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 ...

Graphical abstract of the Skoltech study showing some of the possible carbon oxides in the range probed by the researchers: ...

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 ...
