For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

Could helium molecules form in very high magnetic fields? In the extreme magnetic fields of white dwarves and neutron stars, a third type of chemical bonding can occur. That is the finding of ...

In what's being hailed as an important first for chemistry, an international team of scientists has developed a new technology that can selectively rearrange atomic bonds within a single molecule. The ...

Anna Azvolinsky reports work on artificial photosynthesis (15 April, p 28). She writes that plants “store their energy… in chemical bonds. In other words they make fuel”. This risks reinforcing the ...

A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing, as well as exchanging, of electrons -or electrostatic forces ...
