H2O. An almost negligible proportion of a few per million consists of "heavy water," in which the hydrogen atoms (H) are ...

Understanding how molecules interact with ions is a cornerstone of chemistry, with applications from pollution detection and ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which exists at extreme temperatures and pressures, water has the properties of ...

Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing ...

Supercritical water, a mysterious state where water behaves like both a liquid and gas, has long puzzled scientists.

Water covers more than 70% of our planet, and it’s made of H₂O—two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. But there’s also ...

A new light-activated catalyst breaks and resets carbon–halogen bonds to convert racemic mixtures into enantiomerically ...

France's discovery of naturally occurring "white hydrogen" in underground reservoirs presents a potential zero-carbon energy ...

A study in Engineering reveals a new adsorbent made by combining cationic surfactants with montmorillonite. This adsorbent ...

Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Hydrophobic side chains interact with each other via weak van der Waals interactions.
