Dec. 22, 2020 —Chemists have synthesized extremely unusual compounds. Their central building block is a silicon atom. Different from usual, however, is the arrangement of the four bonding partners of the atom, ...
July 22, 2021 —Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the ...
July 25, 2022 —Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful ...
Apr. 21, 2022 —Chemists have devised a new chemical reaction that allows them to synthesize a phosphorus-containing ring, using a catalyst to add phosphorus to simple organic compounds called ...
July 31, 2020 —Tungsten atoms are seen to come together in a way that is similar to an outer space ion. The finding suggests many more types of electron sharing between atoms could exist in ...
July 10, 2020 —Scientists have invented a new tool -- they call it a ''nanocage'' -- that can catch and straighten out molecule-sized tangles of polymers - -whether made of protein or plastic. ...
Feb. 27, 2023 —Face blindness, a mystifying condition that can trick us into believing we recognize people we've never met or make us fail to recognize those we have, has been previously estimated to affect ...
Nov. 9, 2020 —A research team developed a template-free, one-pot synthesis of a porphyrin-based gigantic organic cages composed of multi-porphyrin ...
May 9, 2022 —A study describes a new mechanism for lowering thermal conductivity to aid the search for materials that convert heat to electricity or electricity to heat. Scientists describe the previously hidden ...
Oct. 5, 2020 —Even though dogs gaze into man's eyes, dog brains may not process faces as human brains do. A new study suggests that the canine visual system is organized differently: the face network found in ...
