Zinc traditionally has a valence of two, meaning two electrons take part in the element's chemical reaction. A new article shows that the chemistry of zinc can be fundamentally changed, making it ...

Chemists have discovered a new oxidation state of rhodium. This chemical element is one of the most catalytically important platinum-group metals and is used, for example, in catalytic converters for ...

A research team has succeeded in inducing ferromagnetism, a key property of conventional magnets, in pure vanadium oxide, a compound not previously recognized for such magnetic behavior. Through a ...
