New research published in Nature documents evidence for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur, a first-order phase transition that has been enigmatic to chemists. The original first-order transition ...

A team of researchers led by Assistant Professor Yuki Arakawa, Toyohashi University of Technology, has successfully liquid crystallized π-conjugated 2 rod-like molecules with alkylthio groups ...

Magnesium rechargeable batteries show immense promise for a greener future because of their energy density, safety, and cost. But the lack of high-performance cathode materials has impeded their ...

JANDER'S theory 1 of reactions in liquid sulphur dioxide has recently been criticized by Bateman, Hughes and Ingold 2 and, in this connexion, it appeared that some useful information might be obtained ...

A team led by LMU chemist Oliver Trapp reports in Nature Communications. The formation of peptide bonds – the chemical bond between amino acids – in protein synthesis is one of the most important ...

IT has been known for some time that inorganic nitrates catalyse the formation of polysulphones from liquid mixtures of olefines and sulphur dioxide 1, but the mechanism of catalysis has never been ...

Lithium–sulfur chemistry enables higher energy density using low-cost sulfur instead of metals found in lithium-ion batteries ...
