A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg and the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, together with the Center for ...
Transition metals have many applications in engineering, electrochemistry and catalysis. To understand their properties, the interplay between atomic localization and delocalization of the outer ...
Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...
Chemists have recently explored protactinium's multiple resemblances to more completely understand the relationship between the transition metals and the complex chemistry of the early actinide ...
It’s a helpful rule of thumb: Main group elements prefer forming bonds that give them eight valence electrons; transition metals go for 18 electrons. Now scientists have shown that main group elements ...
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) represent one of the most promising families of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials in advanced materials research. Characterized by their MX₂ formula—where M ...
