Rocks loafing about on the surface of Mars have been harboring secrets about the red planet's mysterious past.

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar ...

Scientist Stephen Jesse will speak Tuesday at Friends of ORNL on "Building Materials and Devices with Atomic Precision: ...

Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

In Bohr's model, if an electron orbit is not already filled, then it's easier for the atoms to exchange or share those ...

The transplutonium actinides are highly radioactive and rare, making them difficult to study. To examine their chemical ...

Astrophysicists have done a bit of crime scene investigation on what’s almost a reverse murder mystery. They’ve traced ...

discrete spectral lines of light emitted by atoms of different elements. Shortly after Rutherford’s discovery of the nucleus, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr began to attack this problem using ...

German chemists have created the first-ever boron-carbon triple bond which opens new possibilities for molecular innovation.

Researchers are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon. Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can ...

“Atoms are the building blocks of all materials, and the ways that atoms of different elements are arranged and interact ultimately determine the properties and performance of the materials that ...
