The lessons learned from a near infrared absorbing, bowl-shaped molecule made only from hydrogen and carbon atoms offers insights for future organic conductors. Nagoya University researchers have ...

Aromatic molecules adsorb onto carbon nanotube walls via pi-pi interactions, slowing supercritical water flow and reducing gasification efficiency, a new simulation study finds.

The carbon-hydrogen bond -- 2/3 of all bonds in hydrocarbons -- has defied chemists' attempts to open it up and add new chemical groups. A team has now cracked the strongest of C-H bonds, those on a ...
