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 ...

Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an important role to play in emerging energy technologies like nuclear batteries ...

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 ...

A research group has successfully demonstrated that carbon-carbon (C-C) covalent bonds expand and contract flexibly in response to light and heat. This unexpected flexibility of C-C bonds could confer ...

Misbehaving proteins are behind many diseases. One way drugmakers incapacitate these bad actors is to deploy molecules that bind to them. But finding solid footholds on the proteins to block their ...
