Scientists in the US have rewritten the rules of materials discovery after creating a ...
A team of chemists at King’s College London has synthesized an entirely new type of aluminum compound that can perform ...
Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...
Changing the chemistry of a compound is difficult by itself, but modifying materials only a few atoms thick is its own challenge. A group of University of Chicago scientists announced an innovative ...
Scientists have found the first case of an ionic crystal consisting of just one chemical element -- boron. This is the densest and hardest known phase of this element. The new phase turned out to be a ...
The heaviest element that humans have ever found is called oganesson. Each atom of the stuff packs a whopping 118 protons into its dense center. In contrast, hydrogen—the most abundant element in the ...
