In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions. Their research focuses on understanding how ...

A new study is the first to show that living organisms can be persuaded to make silicon-carbon bonds--something only chemists had done before. Scientists have "bred" a bacterial protein to have the ...

UCLA chemists have made dramatic improvements in organic chemistry. They use oxygen, copper ‘scissors’ to make cheaper drug treatments possible. Zhiqi He et al, Aminodealkenylation: Ozonolysis and ...

You may not remember much from high school chemistry, but you probably recall learning the fundamental lesson that carbon, the quintessential element of life, can form four bonds with other molecules.

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - Gather your supplies! In this episode we will learn about chemical bonds...or when two things mix together and form a new substance through bonding ions. The glue has long flexible ...

Are friendships formed with those we truly like? Or do we settle for whoever happens to be around? This question is hard to answer in humans, and even harder in other animals. But a new study of ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...
