WITHOUT them, life as we know it could not exist, yet the exact definition of the hydrogen bond – credited with keeping water liquid and giving DNA its signature helical shape – has always ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

There is a reason why ice floats on water, and it is called the hydrogen bond. Whatever that is. A hydrogen bond, in this picture, is what forms when a hydrogen atom that is already stably bound ...

What we’ll cover: Basics of hydrogen bonds visualization in Mercury (definition of donors and acceptors, visualizing H-bonds patterns and networks). Tips and tricks for hydrogen bonds visualization.

Hydrogen bonds are at the very core of life as we know it, and now for the first time ever scientists have managed to visualize these transient molecular associations. A team of researchers from ...

Scientists have just seen for the first time one of the most important physical interactions in our world — the special type of bond called the hydrogen bond that holds our DNA together and ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in studying the strength of hydrogen bonds in a single molecule using an atomic force microscope. For the first time, scientists have succeeded in ...

Humid air causes hydrogen bonds to form between the proteins in your hair, triggering curls and frizz. Image via Flickr user Simon Gotz If you have long hair, you probably don’t need to look up ...
