The number of bonds a carbon atom forms with other elements in a compound determines its chemical structure and behavior. Normally, a carbon atom shares all four of its valence electrons to create ...

Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved something never seen before: creating a stable boron-carbon triple bond. While triple bonds exist between many element pairs, boron and carbon had stubbornly ...

German chemists have created the first-ever boron-carbon triple bond which opens new possibilities for molecular innovation.

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time. This discovery could help chemists ...

The pioneering nuclear chemist Glenn Seaborg discovered berkelium at Berkeley Lab in 1949. It was one of many achievements ...

Straightforward skeletal editing chemistry now enables the direct insertion of nitrogen into carbon–carbon double bonds.

Researchers named the compound “berkelocene” because it is comparable to the compound “uranocene,” a uranium-containing ...
