The structures and electronic states in all polymorphs of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) were calculated by density functional theory with the generalized gradient ...

Scientists demonstrate the influence of nanoparticles and surrounding ions on the formation of beta-sheet structure in amyloid beta proteins. Protein function and activity is determined by both their ...

When things heat up, most solids expand as higher temperatures cause atoms to vibrate more dramatically, necessitating more space. But some solid crystals, like scandium fluoride, shrink when heated — ...

Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical trap of a stable ‘closed-shell’ molecule: aluminum monofluoride (AlF).

A summary of earlier work is contained in Thomas, C. A., “Anhydrous Aluminium Chloride in Organic Chemistry”, Amer. Chem. Soc. Mon. No. 87, pp. 48–54 (Reinhold ...

The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s ...
