The hydrogen bond plays a critical role in diverse biological phenomena. Although discovered 90 years ago, the precise chemical nature of this unique interaction has remained in dispute.

"To enhance the usage of renewable energies, we have to develop some more efficient energy integration technologies." Scientists unveil futuristic battery material: 'Our discovery has made this ...

A groundbreaking technique has been developed that enhances the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells, thanks ...

Hydrogen bonding, a key interaction between molecules, has been considered essential for optimizing these materials. However, ...

Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom feels the attraction from the proton in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are ...

Many of the anomalous properties of water can be traced to the special interactions between the individual water molecules—the so-called hydrogen bonds. Each water molecule can donate two of ...

IN the electrolytic formation of hydrogen from water an inertia is present, which has to be overcome by a certain amount of over-voltage. The nature of this inertia is still under discussion.

Further incentives are needed to address challenges like high production costs and logistical difficulties, among others.

Outside of the Science Building stands a pedestal with a plaque on which is inscribed a poem, “Ode to the Hydrogen Bond” by Thomas Dykstra ‘57. The very existence of this plaque makes Calvin ...

Both ethanol and ether have the same molecular mass, however, their melting points and boiling points are different due to the ethanol containing hydrogen bonding. Ether is a symmetrical molecule ...

Using heavy water, the researchers could also selectively introduce deuterium atoms along with chlorine. The weightier hydrogen isotope is useful for probing reaction mechanisms, as well as studying ...

Each atom then has a complete outer shell of electrons. The slideshow shows how a covalent bond forms between a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, making hydrogen chloride. A simple molecule ...
