In nanotechnology, control is key. Control over the arrangements and distances between nanoparticles can allow tailored interaction strengths so that properties can be harnessed in devices such as ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...

PROF. FRY bases his conception of valency on Sir J. J. Thomson's interpretation of the bond (without reference to the nature of chemical affinity or to the structure of the atom) as a unit Faraday ...

Zinc traditionally has a valence of two, meaning two electrons take part in the element's chemical reaction. A new article shows that the chemistry of zinc can be fundamentally changed, making it ...

IN continuation of work on valency effects in alloys, I have recently measured the lattice parameters of the primary solid solutions in silver formed by the elements cadmium, indium, tin and antimony, ...
