This study is led by Prof. Wenjing Hong (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University), Prof. Colin J. Lambert (Department of Physics, Lancaster University) and Prof. Zitong Liu ...

Metal/organic interfaces and their structural, electronic, spintronic and thermodynamic properties have been investigated intensively, aiming to improve and develop future electronic devices. In this ...

The ability of molecules to form supramolecular structures on surfaces by self-assembly has attracted considerable attention in the last few years 5,6,7,8,9. The derived patterns, with dimensions ...

Experimental evidence of long-range attractive forces between cellular proteins has been obtained by researchers in France more than 50 years after the idea was first proposed. The forces are mediated ...

The alkanes are a homologous series with a structure based on a carbon chain - each carbon atom forms four covalent bonds The intermolecular forces vary between molecules, so different organic ...

The properties of elements and compounds can be explained by considering the different types of bonding present inside the molecules. All ionic compounds have a high melting point and boiling point.
