Gallium, a metal that melts in the hand, has just surprised scientists. At the atomic level, gallium exhibits peculiarities.

(Nanowerk News) The most widespread method for the synthesis of 2D-2D heterostructures is the direct growth of materials on top of each other. 2D structures are atomically thin layered materials that ...

Researchers have found a new type of cross-link between amino acids in a protein (Nature 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03513-3). The intramolecular linkage is an N-O-S bridge formed by oxidizing the ...

From the salt in your kitchen to cutting-edge thermoelectrics, chemical bonding shapes the materials we rely on every day. Researchers are now uncovering how tweaking these bonds can unlock new ...

Misbehaving proteins are behind many diseases. One way drugmakers incapacitate these bad actors is to deploy molecules that bind to them. But finding solid footholds on the proteins to block their ...
