Transition metal diborides (TMB2) are materials of choice for the applications in hypersonic vehicles and scramjet engines ...

Definition and Category of Hybrid Materials Described in the Literature Yamamoto et al. [1] defined hybrid materials as mixtures of two or more materials with new properties created by new electron ...

Nucleic acids have been shown to provide highly versatile properties that can produce self-assembling nanostructures through the hybridization of complementary strands. Despite these capabilities, the ...

A shorter hydrogen bond, for instance, indicates stronger hydrogen bonding and a relatively weaker covalent bond. This was reflected, as expected, in lower spectroscopic frequencies for the H–F ...

The systematic use of toehold-mediated strand displacement in DNA nanotechnology was pioneered by Yurke et al. 29, who observed that the same strand of DNA can undergo multiple hybridization and ...

Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, form the scaffolding that underpins the majority of organic compounds. In 1931, the Nobel Laureate Linus ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two.

A detailed electron distribution study of the covalent bond in silicon is discussed. The study is based on the strategy employed earlier to define the covalent bond in diamond, and estimates of the ...

In 1931, the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling suggested that covalent bonds made from just a single, unpaired electron could exist, but these single-electron bonds would likely be much weaker than a ...

The drug ibrutinib makes a covalent bond to Bruton's tyrosine kinase, an important cancer target. Credit: RCSB PDB/Yang H. Ku Enticing atoms to share their electrons—to make a covalent bond, in ...
