Vol. 207, No. 1088, A Discussion on Bond Energies and Bond Lengths (Jun. 7, 1951), pp. 32-49 (18 pages) The theory of ionic-covalent resonance has been outlined. It has been emphasized that the ...

The human organism is composed of numerous types of molecules, both simple and complex, and all fundamental processes in a living body occur in water solutions. Therefore, for a drug to work, it must ...

Putting a suite of new materials synthesis and characterization methods to the test, a team of scientists has developed 14 organic-inorganic hybrid materials, seven of which are entirely new. Putting ...

There are four bases: Adenine and Guanine (purines); Cytosine and Thymine (Pyrimidines). Purines have two carbon-nitrogen rings while pyrimidines have a single carbon-nitrogen ring. Thus, there are ...

Quenching a glass-forming system below its transition temperature, T g, leads to a non-equilibrium state. Properties of the system slowly evolve toward equilibrium starting at the time quenched below ...
