Some substances that don't mix on Earth can combine in ultra freezing conditions like those on Saturn's largest moon, ...

For decades, chemistry students have learned a simple truth: polar and nonpolar substances don’t mix. Water and oil stay ...

THERE is an increasing tendency on the part of organic chemists to apply the Berzelius dualistic theory, in a modified form, to organic compounds. In many theories of valency, individual groups are ...

Recent research challenges a basic principle of chemistry—that polar and nonpolar substances cannot spontaneously mix—by ...

The conformation of water around proteins is of paramount importance, as it determines protein interactions. Although the average water properties around the surface of proteins have been provided ...

Scientists have found that on Titan, substances that should remain separate can actually combine under freezing conditions. NASA and Chalmers University researchers discovered that hydrogen cyanide ...

Hydrogen cyanide is what's described as a polar molecule, in the sense that it has one side with a positive electric charge ...

BIOLOGICAL properties of proteins depend on the higher levels of their structure, determined by the primary structure. As has been shown by Fisher 1, the knowledge of the amino-acid composition ...

The discovery of conductivity and magnetism at the polar–nonpolar interfaces of insulating nonmagnetic oxides such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 has raised prospects for attaining interfacial functionalities ...
