A new method combines helium droplets with ultrashort laser pulses to initiate chemical processes in a controlled manner.

Chemical bonding refers to the attraction between atoms and can come in several different types with varying strength. It allows the formation of substances with more than one atomic component and ...

PFAS are, in many ways, remarkable molecules. Even a thin layer can repel water, oil, and dirt. They are also highly ...

ORNL researchers developed a new method to enhance carbon fiber composites using carbon nanofibers for improved strength and ...

Colorado State University researchers have published a paper in Science that describes a new and more efficient light-based ...

However, those same chemical bonds have made it difficult to break down without incurring a high energy cost. [Related: Will we ever be able to recycle all our plastic?] To destroy the carbon ...

The atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion. A positive and negative ion attract each other and form an ionic bond. Students will look at animations and make drawings of the ionic bonding ...

We’re a team of researchers who developed a chemical system that uses light to break down bonds between carbon and fluorine atoms. These strong chemical bonds help PFAS resist degradation. We ...
