Theoretical prediction of molecular bond energy is of key importance for understanding molecular properties. For instance, information of chemical reaction pathways can be inferred from a numerical ...
When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — From balloons to rubber bands, things always break faster when stretched. Or do they? University of Illinois scientists studying chemical bonds now have shown this isn't always the ...
Jan. 17 (UPI) --Everything depends on chemical bonds. Without chemical bonds, everything would fall apart. And yet, scientists don't entirely understand how chemical bonding works. Now, for the first ...
Understanding the behavior of materials at their interfaces — where they connect to and interact with other materials — is central to engineering a variety of devices used to process, store and ...
Modern adhesives can work wonders when say, applying a bumper sticker to your car or engaging in some arts and crafts, but there are still many materials that resist their sticky grasp. Now scientists ...
FAYETTEVILLE, GA, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Researchers from Tsinghua University explore how ...
The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...
The development of new drugs or innovative molecular materials with new properties requires specific modification of molecules. Selectivity control in these chemical transformations is one of the main ...
A soft polymer that hardens on impact uses force-activated molecules to rewire its own structure, achieving record stiffness and 97% force reduction.
