Light-induced breakage of chemical bonds can lead to damage in the body and environment, but techniques for studying this photochemical reaction have been limited to before and after snapshots. With ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

A review of the use of adhesives for device assembly, focusing on optical radiation curing using UV light. by B. G. Yacobi, Chris Le Conte, Kevin Davis, and Manfred Hubert New equipment, such as the ...

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. The team used a high-resolution ...

Separating heavy elements from one another is one of the biggest challenges of nuclear waste management. A new type of bonding between metals and ligands in actinide complexes opens new bonding ...

When it comes to extreme multiple bonds, the transition metals have long ruled the roost. Quadruple bonds? They’ve got thousands of them. Quintuple bonds? Right there in a landmark organometallic ...

Injection-molded liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is used in the manufacture of many goods, from medical devices to cookware to electronics. Many LSR applications require that the silicone be bonded to ...
