A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...

Life as we know it would not be possible without water, and water owes its unique properties to hydrogen bonds. You may remember from basic middle school science that there are several types of ...

Researchers compared three different drug delivery models based on ionic liquids. Scientists have developed a powerful API-IL concept to access structural diversity and dual-action pharmaceuticals.

Part of Chemistry (Single Science) Unit 1: Structures, trends, chemical reactions, quantitative chemistry and analysis In chemistry, ‘bonding’ describes how atoms are held together. ‘Structure’ ...

Hydrogels bear some similarities to biological tissues, for example their soft and hydrated form, and hence have been investigated as synthetic equivalents for use in biological systems 1,2,3.
