Quantum researchers have long believed that strong spin interactions in qubits required covalent bonds, making large-scale ...

For instance, the typical lifetime of a hydrogen bond in liquid water is one millionth of a millionth of a second. This ...

Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom feels the attraction from the proton in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the electrons are ...

A research team from Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, together with collaborators from Atlanta and Nijmegen, has ...

A Franco-German research team, including members from the University of Freiburg, shows that supramolecular chemistry enables ...

These include wobble base pairs, such as G-U and I-A (inosine-adenine), which have a slightly different geometry and hydrogen bonding pattern. Non-Watson-Crick base pairs can play important roles in ...
