A far cry from Barnard’s era, when he likened the floppy, sticky cloth to “handling the most irksome wallpaper in the world.” ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is ...

Rocket Lab is making innovative strides in space travel with the Neutron medium payload rocket – namely, it's the largest composite rocket ever made. Initially, hundreds of layers and thousands of ...

Chemists at Hokkaido University have experimentally confirmed the existence of a single-electron carbon-carbon bond for the first time (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07965-1). Linus Pauling ...

Now, researchers have made the first observations of single-electron covalent bonds between two carbon atoms. This unusual bonding behaviour has been seen between a few other atoms, but scientists ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile ...

The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms validates a century-old theory. The discovery of a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms ...

Now, a team of researchers from Hokkaido University has isolated a compound in which a single electron is shared between two carbon atoms in a remarkably stable covalent bond, known as a sigma bond.

known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond involves two carbon atoms sharing just one electron. The study has been published in the journal Nature. Using an X-ray diffractor to ...

To make these plastics stronger, engineers add reinforcement materials such as carbon ... tube a little, add defects and weaken it. The strategy pursued by the researchers uses the mechanical bond ...

The carbon fiber hull of the experimental submersible that imploded en route to the wreckage of the Titanic had imperfections dating to the manufacturing process and behaved differently after a ...
