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 ...

and contribute to the structure of natural and synthetic polymers. Research has shown that hydrogen bonds play an important role in tuning the reactivity of the metal centers of metalloenzymes and ...

In this study, the crucial roles of interfacial hydrogen bond structure and dynamics, as well as the optimal interfacial water environment for promoting H 2 evolution were uncovered. These ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical ... within which they are then connected by hydrogen bonds. The Bochum-based team has now ...

“Being able to see the hydrogen bonds between molecules will give a better understanding of the 2D bonding and hence allow better, more complex self-assembled structures to be designed and made.

Hydrogen bonds are found everywhere in chemistry and biology and are critical in DNA and RNA, where they bond the base pairs that encode genes and map protein structures. Recently a team of ...

Hydrogen is one of the most common elements in the world — making up 75 percent of all visible matter and more than 90 percent of all the atoms in the universe. At the same time, hydrogen bonds ...

Nacre, or mother of pearl, has highly attractive mechanical properties but cannot be processed into larger-scale structures ... introduction of tailored hydrogen bonds in the polymer mortar ...

WITHOUT them, life as we know it could not exist, yet the exact definition of the hydrogen bond – credited with ... models used to predict molecular structure, says Steven Scheiner of Utah ...

Hydrogen bonds are important interactions for the stability of a crystal structure. Understanding hydrogen bonds is a crucial step in solid form assessment, as it allows you to investigate and ...

Using a technique called high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM), researchers in China have visualized the molecular structure of a hydrogen bond. Image: AFM images of 8-hydroxyquinoline on ...
