Could helium molecules form in very high magnetic fields? In the extreme magnetic fields of white dwarves and neutron stars, a third type of chemical bonding can occur. That is the finding of ...

"SOMETIMES IT SEEMS to me that a bond between two atoms has become so real, so tangible, so friendly, that I can almost see it. Then I awake with a little shock, for a chemical bond is not a real ...

For the lower alcohols, the tendency to serve as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) toward solutes is commonly expressed through various semiempirical scales incorporating polarity and acidity parameters. In ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 71, No. 7 (Jul., 1974), pp. 2795-2799 (5 pages) A new method for the accurate a priori calculation of atomic and ...

“Most techniques for studying molecular structure, such as X-ray diffraction and electron scattering measure the total electron distribution,” Villeneuve told PhysicsWeb. “We were able to isolate a ...
