MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these ...
Inspired by the water-repelling properties of the fluoropolymer PTFE (better known by its trade name, Teflon), chemists have created nanochannels lined with fluorine atoms that transport water at ...

Overcoming the 'fluoro wall'—researchers observe tunneling effect of heavy atoms for the first time
An international research team made up of scientists from Freie Universität Berlin and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in conjunction with Université de Lorraine in Metz, ...
Fluorine-containing gases -- including so-called per- or polyfluorinated hydrocarbons, or PFCs -- have a significant share in global warming. Researchers recently developed new crystalline materials ...
PFAS are, in many ways, remarkable molecules. Even a thin layer can repel water, oil, and dirt. They are also highly resistant to heat and UV light, which makes them ideal for coating breathable ...
Once dubbed 'forever chemicals,' per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, might be in the market for a new nickname. Adding iodide to a water treatment reactor that uses ultraviolet (UV) light and ...
Selma Thagard watched in astonishment as the indestructible chemicals did the one thing that they shouldn’t do — fall apart. A chemical engineer at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, Thagard ...
Researchers have identified microbes that can break down some of the ‘forever chemicals’ accumulating around the world 1. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used compounds that have ...
