From the locked geometry of cis-trans isomers to the invisible tug-of-war of molecular polarity, chemistry’s building blocks determine how substances behave. These structural differences influence ...

(a) Schematic of imine bond formation. (b) The building block molecules chosen in this work (R: polyethylene glycol chain) and the construction of an extended network by imine bond formations through ...

Nobel laureate Otto Hahn is credited with the discovery of nuclear fission. Fission is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, yet Hahn considered something else to be his best ...
