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 ...

Researchers at European XFEL in Germany have tracked in real time the movement of individual atoms during a chemical reaction in the gas phase. Using extremely short X-ray flashes, they were able to ...

A new method combines helium droplets with ultrashort laser pulses to initiate chemical processes in a controlled manner. This provides insights into the transfer of energy and charge during the ...

A team of chemists has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating carbon-hydrogen bonds. This groundbreaking discovery provides ...

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 ...

Bond polarity, driven by differences in electronegativity, explains why some molecules dissolve in water, why others don’t, and why substances have different boiling points. Polar bonds have unequal ...

Carbon-nitrogen bonds are ubiquitous in organic molecules: it’s estimated that over 75% of drugs and agrochemicals contain at least one nitrogen atom, and methods to manipulate and install amine ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and the Institut de Biologie Structurale have determined the ...
