Thank you for bringing to my attention the recent International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry report “Atomic weights of the elements 2009” (C&EN, Dec. 20 ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control chemical reactions by carefully arranging copper atoms on a carbon-based material. With just tiny changes at the atomic scale, the same material can be ...

Single crystals are typically brittle, inelastic materials. Such mechanical responses limit their use in practical applications, particularly in flexible electronics and optical devices. Here we ...

Chlorine naturally exists as two isotopes, \(_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-35) and \(_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-37). The abundance of chlorine-35 is 75% ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...
