Normally, a carbon atom shares all four of its valence electrons ... showing that it represents a new type of carbon-centered diradical with a single dative bond between the phosphorus and the ...

A new reagent has moved carbon-atom transfer out of the chemical flatlands, allowing chemists to place a single carbon atom so that it makes bonds to four different substituents. The reagent makes ...

Sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin and lead can now be made just a few atoms thick by crushing them at a high ...

In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, the researchers said that compared to their bulkier counterparts, ...

Hansmann (TU Dortmund), report a chemical compound featuring a single carbon atom bonded to a phosphorus group, Ph 3 P→C. The compound was generated from a diazophosphorus ylide precursor by ...

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

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

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed ...

Last year, a team of global scientists created a single-atom-thick gold sheet, which they dubbed "goldene" to match with ...
