BUFFALO, N.Y. and TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team ...

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer ...

Computational chemists predict that actinide elements trapped in fullerene cages will form some unusual metal-metal bonds, including very long covalent bonds and π bonds without accompanying σ bonds ...

Graphene oxide is composed of oxygenated functional groups, the most prevalent of which are carboxyl, carbonyl, epoxy, and hydroxyl. These functional groups present on graphe are polar, making it very ...

A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by discovering a stable single-electron covalent bond, known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond ...
