Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Scientists have found a new way to make clean hydrogen from water using liquid metal and light, and it works with both freshwater and seawater. Instead of relying on electricity to split water, the ...

Scientists are putting the pedal to the metal to develop new antibiotics. Metal-based drugs can open a new world of medicine, ...

Non-metal chemistry encompasses the study of elements and compounds that, by virtue of their electronic configurations and bonding characteristics, do not exhibit metallic properties. This field spans ...

Transition metal chemistry is a vast and dynamic field that centres on the distinctive properties of elements in groups 3–12. These metals, characterised by partially filled d orbitals, exhibit a ...

More than 80% of all elements in the periodic table are metals. While we typically think of elements as invisible to the naked eye or simply some of the components of air, most of these are metallic ...

Scientists may finally understand the mysterious transition behind a century-old chemistry experiment. The details of this transformation, in which adding electrons to a bright blue ammonia solution ...
