A team of researchers from the University of Chicago and Emory University has found evidence of a hydrogen bond/covalent bond hybrid. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes experiments they conducted ...
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the U.K. and one in Saudi Arabia has developed a way to produce jet fuel using carbon dioxide as a main ingredient. In their paper published in the journal Nature ...
Hydrogen exists as a gaseous compound of two hydrogen atoms (H2). Under normal laboratory conditions, H2 occurs in the variants "ortho hydrogen" and "para hydrogen." Until now, it has been unclear how these variants behave ...
