DNA provides the fundamental basis of most life on Earth. Its properties, some of which are still being discovered today, show just how flexible and finely-honed living creatures truly are. Everything ...

Double-helix molecules are frequently encountered in biological and synthetic organic systems, where they typically provide improved strength and better electrical properties relative to materials ...

The single-walled nanotube (SWNT) is an interesting nanostructure for fundamental research and potential applications. However, very few inorganic SWNTs are available to date due to the lack of ...

Move over cyclopentadiene anion—there’s a new five-membered aromatic ring in town, and this one is made of silicon. Two research teams working independently report the first examples of ...

This course focuses on the structure, properties and reactivity of inorganic compounds with a particular focus on transition metal complexes. The laboratory training develops expertise in a broad ...

Intriguing new evidence of lifelike structures that form from inorganic substances in space have just been revealed. The findings hint at the possibility that life beyond earth may not necessarily use ...

Inorganic chemistry deals with the study of non-living matter, including minerals, metals, nonmetals, and their compounds, which do not involve carbon-hydrogen bonds. Inorganic compounds can exhibit ...

Plutonium (Pu) exhibits one of the most diverse and complex chemistries of any element in the periodic table. Since its discovery in 1940, scientists have synthesized and studied many different types ...

As compared to organic chemistry, which is a study dedicated to carbon-containing compounds, the area of inorganic chemistry examines the properties and behaviors of all other compounds including ...

Fossil-like objects grew in natural spring water abundant in the early stages of the planet, an international team of researchers has discovered. But, they were inorganic materials that resulted from ...
