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

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

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 ...

The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its chemical structure and behavior. Normally, a carbon atom shares all four of its valence electrons to create ...

What can methyl halides, which are gases that consist of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms while being attached to a ...

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, which ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved something never seen before: creating a stable boron-carbon triple bond. While triple ...

Researchers at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg have synthesized a novel boryne with a boron-carbon triple bond, ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells require ...

The challenger bank is investing in its new hub which is says is a 'bold statement about how we see the future of work' ...

CF Industries poised for 30% growth with rising EU gas prices, low US gas costs, and strong corn demand boosting nitrogen ...
