Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

Engineering researchers have developed a technique to isolate a single water molecule inside a buckyball and drive motion of the "big" nonpolar ball through the encapsulated "small" polar H2O molecule ...

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a pivotal role in stratospheric chemistry, particularly in the processes that lead to ozone depletion. Formed under extreme cold conditions in the polar ...

Polar molecules with long-ranged dipolar interactions are ideally suited to the exploration of strongly correlated quantum matter and intriguing phenomena such as quantum magnetism, exotic ...

Chemists have made the all-cis isomer of 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, a crystalline ring molecule with all six fluorines pointing “up” and all six hydrogens pointing “down.” This compound is ...

The polar part of alcohol is attracted to and interacts with polar water molecules and causes alcohol to dissolve. The polar parts of the glucose molecule are attracted to and interact with water and ...
