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

The cuticle is your hair’s protective outer layer, and when it’s healthy, it’s smooth and flat. Damage can lift some of the ...

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 ...

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

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.

Both ethanol and ether have the same molecular mass, however, their melting points and boiling points are different due to the ethanol containing hydrogen bonding. Ether is a symmetrical molecule ...
