Diatomic nitrogen is an archetypal molecular system known for its exceptional stability and complex behavior at high pressures and temperatures, including rich solid polymorphism, formation of ...

Geometry-related problems in bio-molecules are new challenges as well as opportunities for geometers since it is now strongly agreed that the shape of molecules mostly determines their functions. To ...

Molecular Geometry: Get to know what molecular geometry is and its types. Students check the postulates of the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory.

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

Molecular geometry modeling is a powerful tool for understanding the intricate relationships between molecular structure and biological activity – a field known as structure-activity relationships ...

Students learn how to predict the shape of a molecule based on the electron dot diagram.

Background: The dipeptide-alkylated nitrogen-mustard compound is a new kind of nitrogen-mustard derivative with a strong anti-tumor activity, which can be used as a potential anti-osteosarcoma ...

Molecular shape-shifting New theory on autonomous remodeling of structures Date: December 13, 2022 Source: Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization Summary: Structures made out of ...

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists Saeed Osat and Ramin Golestanian from the Max Planck Institute ...

Nitrogen plasmas are utilized in surface nitriding of metallic and semiconductor materials. In addition, the synthesis of ammonia using nitrogen-hydrogen mixture plasmas becomes an active research ...

US researchers have developed a chemical reaction that deletes nitrogen atoms in organic molecules, including in ring structures, connecting the carbon atoms on either side. 1 In the first ever ...
