For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely-used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones. The ...
For the first time, researchers have created a solid compound containing a beryllium-beryllium bond (Science 2023, DOI: 10.1126/science.adh4419). The compound is diberyllocene, in which each beryllium ...
A newly evolved enzyme could one day make silicone compounds biodegradable. For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn human-made bonds between silicon and carbon ...
