Electronegativity and molecular polarity are central to understanding chemical bonding. By combining periodic trends with molecular geometry, you can predict whether a molecule is polar or nonpolar.

Bans on older versions of “forever chemicals” seem to be working. But emerging variants behave in ways that scientists are ...

Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new ...

Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via ...

Researchers from MIT and collaborating institutions have, for the first time, directly measured the 3D atomic structure of a ...

Bond polarity is all about how atoms share electrons—and when that sharing isn’t equal, fascinating things happen. From electronegativity differences to molecular geometry, these factors decide ...

Professor Laramie Jensen’s interest in inorganic and analytical chemistry led her to the ocean. And then to the North Pole.

New nitride materials could let electricity control hidden magnetic spin patterns, pointing toward faster and more stable ...

Radio Frequency Company's Macrowave radio frequency pasteurization systems have been fully validated to treat rice flour used ...

A new study reveals that chemicals used to replace ozone-damaging CFCs are now driving a surge in a persistent “forever chemical” worldwide. The pollutant, called trifluoroacetic acid, is falling out ...

Plastic pollution in water often looks like floating bottles or tiny plastic pieces. A much larger problem stays hidden from sight. Microplastics release dissolved chemicals into rivers, lakes, and ...
