As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic systems ...

Every molecule has a unique set of vibrations, like a fingerprint, and these can be used to figure out its structure. Quantum chemistry ... In this case, methyl-phosphaallenes—molecules with a ...

In this case, methyl-phosphaallenes—molecules with a phosphorus atom bonded to a three-carbon chain —were formed during the photolysis of phosphabutyne.

A potentially dangerous phosphorus flare washed up on Montrose Beach this week after a military exercise gone wrong, and the U.S. Coast Guard said three more are still in the water.

Coast Guard warns beachgoers after phosphorus pyrotechnic found on Montrose Beach. Pyrotechnics remain armed and can reach temperatures of 2900 degrees Fahrenheit.

This helps scientists learn about the material’s structure and behavior, especially for reactive particles like radicals. A team of researchers, led by Associate Professor Shigekazu Ito from the ...

This finding indicates that for BP-coronene, owing to the presence of phosphorus the majority of the XC functionals studied do not appropriately describe the molecular structure, which appears to ...

Phosphorus is a mineral found in many plant and animal foods and is also available as a dietary supplement. Good sources include lentils and dairy.

Our findings reveal that the substitutional doping of a phosphorus atom into a single carbon vacancy in a graphene layer induces substantial structural distortion in BLG. In contrast, doping ...

The Biden administration said it would be asking questions about reports of Israel illegally using white phosphorus in Lebanon in October. Israel denied the claims.
