Prior to 2000, many drugs that formed a covalent bond with targets did so non-selectively, which often led to undesired side effects when compared to non-covalent drugs. This led to the belief that ...

Gallium, a metal that melts in the hand, has just surprised scientists. At the atomic level, gallium exhibits peculiarities.

BUFFALO, N.Y. and TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team ...

Computational chemists predict that actinide elements trapped in fullerene cages will form some unusual metal-metal bonds, including very long covalent bonds and π bonds without accompanying σ bonds ...

A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by discovering a stable single-electron covalent bond, known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond ...

From the salt in your kitchen to cutting-edge thermoelectrics, chemical bonding shapes the materials we rely on every day. Researchers are now uncovering how tweaking these bonds can unlock new ...

New research shows that curium — one of the heaviest known elements — can be manipulated to a larger degree than previously thought. An international team published a study on July 15 in the journal ...
