A new study reveals, through computational methods, that when silk fibres are stretched after being spun their protein chains align, intermolecular interactions increase and mechanical properties ...

The increase in hydrogen bonds contributes to the fiber’s overall strength, toughness and elasticity, the researchers found. “Once a fiber is extruded, its mechanical properties are actually quite ...

Dipole-dipole interactions between molecules are not as strong as hydrogen bonds but still can significantly influence the physical properties and contribute to the increase in boiling or melting ...

The hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are responsible for the many properties that make water a unique liquid. However, even today scientists don’t fully understand the science behind ...

Abstract: The dependence of the dehydrogenation conditions on the sinterability and magnetic properties of fine neodymium ... which would make the maximum amount of hydrogen gas react with the carbon ...

Ector County ISD leaders announced Monday the locations for the new middle school and the new CTE high school are now officially ECISD properties. Superintendent Scott Muri and a few others will ...

At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), a team is investigating hydrogen as a medium for storing and releasing energy, largely by cracking its chemical bonds. Much of their ... the hydrogen ...

The comparative study between EZT-L-proline and EZT suggest that cocrystals can be better used as an alternative to comprehend the effect of hydrogen bonding in biomolecules and enhance the ...

This work addresses drawbacks in previous studies that ignored the geometry dependence and local dielectric properties of thioamide hydrogen bonding and identifies cases where thioamides may be either ...
