Structure of Iridium (Ir) dimer complex showing an Ir-Ir bonding molecular orbital populated (left) and an Ir-Ir anti-bonding molecular orbital depopulated (right) by optical excitation. Attractive ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have become indispensable for elucidating the microscopic details of water and its hydrogen bond network. These computational methods enable the characterisation of ...

A research team has successfully developed a new approach to create switchable magnetic materials by using hydrogen bonding at the molecular level. This groundbreaking study shows how certain metal ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

If you take two objects with fairly smooth surfaces, and put these together, you would not expect them to stick together. At least not without a liberal amount of adhesive, water or some other ...

Molecular electronic devices using quantum tunneling could achieve integration densities 1,000 times greater than silicon chips by combining atomic-precision assembly with three-dimensional ...

More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of energy needed to trigger specific reactions on the surface of electrodes.

The FSU research, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, shows why: The molecule quickly moves into a less energetic state before the absorbed energy can break chemical bonds. The ...
