The discovery of graphene—a one-atom-thick sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms—inspired the research community to generate a variety of 2D materials. Graphene, MoS 2, the silicon equivalent of ...

The reactivity series is a list that shows the order of reactivity of some common metals. Calcium (Ca) Reacts vigorously with strong heating. Brick red flame observed and white solid formed. 2Ca + O 2 ...

Scientists have long noted with interest that in one of nature's crucial chemical reactions—the oxygen evolution reaction—it ...

It’s a helpful rule of thumb: Main group elements prefer forming bonds that give them eight valence electrons; transition metals go for 18 electrons. Now scientists have shown that main group elements ...

Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other high-temperature applications. Complex metal alloys enter a new era of predictive design for aerospace and other ...

Seemingly contradictory materials are trapped together in two glittering diamonds from South Africa, shedding light on how ...
