Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure ...

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...

A new topology-based method predicts atomic charges in metal-organic frameworks from bond connectivity alone, making large-scale computational screening practical.

A major step towards simpler drug development has been taken at the University of Gothenburg. In a new study, researchers have developed stable boron-fluorine compounds that make it possible to ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

Explore how boron compounds are revolutionising drug development with new stable boron-fluorine compounds for better ...

Earth's core contains nine to 45 times more hydrogen than the planet's oceans do, according to a new study that could settle a debate about when and how hydrogen was delivered to Earth.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

Spin density symmetry breaking in single-atom catalysts can significantly enhance the performance of hydrogen evolution ...

Some Spanish audiences thought clever ads for the sci-fi blockbuster Independence Day were news reports of an actual alien ...

When we first learn about atoms, we learn that the simplest has one electron buzzing around one proton, aka hydrogen. But it turns out there's an atom that's even simpler than this. It's called ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.
