Dangerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are known as ‘forever chemicals’ due to their strong carbon-fluoride bonds. A new study analyzes a bacterium that has developed a “taste” for ...

has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of chemical synthesis, developing a novel method for manipulating carbon ...

The biosynthetic pathways leading to such bonds can be bypassed through chemical synthesis to synthesize natural products more efficiently and also to generate the molecular diversity unavailable ...

Bond breaking is an endothermic process. The opposite is true if we want to make new bonds. Energy is released when new chemical bonds are formed, so bond making is an exothermic process.

If they collide with enough energy, bonds can break and new bonds can form in a chemical reaction. The reactants just sit there until energy is added with the flame. The added energy is enough to make ...

The material contains 100 trillion chemical bonds per square centimeter (around 650 trillion per square inch), which is the highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved, the researchers ...

In the world of chemistry, getting polymers (long chains of large molecules) to form mechanical bonds inside their structures has proven extremely challenging. Unlike chemical bonds, which involve ...

The difference between the energy needed to break bonds, and the energy released when new bonds form, determines the type of reaction. A reaction is: The energy level increases in an endothermic ...
