From the locked geometry of cis-trans isomers to the invisible tug-of-war of molecular polarity, chemistry’s building blocks determine how substances behave. These structural differences influence ...

“For the first time, this strategy allows us to efficiently and precisely create a structural motif that was previously difficult to access,” says Friedmann. Specifically, the chemists have discovered ...

Molecular polarity and intermolecular forces explain why substances dissolve, boil, or stick together the way they do. From the shape of a molecule to the pull of its atoms, polarity determines ...

Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) has emerged as a transformative approach in magnetic resonance by vastly enhancing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity. By transferring polarisation from ...
