Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to ...

Supercritical water, a mysterious state where water behaves like both a liquid and gas, has long puzzled scientists.

Computational analysis provides new insights into silk's mechanical properties that was unavailable experimentally ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which exists at extreme temperatures and pressures, water has the properties of ...

This research demonstrates that hydrogen bonding can extend the lifespan of solar cell materials while simultaneously achieving improved efficiency and stability. The research is published in the ...

A study in Engineering reveals a new adsorbent made by combining cationic surfactants with montmorillonite. This adsorbent ...

Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom feels the attraction from the proton in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are ...

Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. Hydrophobic side chains interact with each other via weak van der Waals interactions.
