I was looking at the periodic table of the elements the other day, as one does, when my eye fell upon the right-hand side of the chart. Right next to the noble gases at the extreme edge of the table ...

Last month, halogen lightbulbs went out all over Europe. Following a general ban by the European Union, the sale and purchase of halogen bulbs is being gradually phased out. Retailers will be allowed ...

Electronics companies have experienced some chemical reactions in the past two decades. Many will recall the European RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), which came into force in ...

New research shows that using halogens -- a class of elements that include fluoride, bromine, chlorine and iodine -- in a dye-sensitized solar cell can increase conversion efficiency by 25 per cent.

Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...

Compare the side-of-the-road lighting between both sets of lights on high and low beam. Then notice how the LEDs light the detail at the far end of the road, where the halogen lamps seem to just fade ...

Yes yes, as some may know, I shouldn't even be thinking about electricity. However, I am fairly comfortable with 12v transformers for halogen light bulbs and swapping them out if they go wonky. So I ...

Studying the infinitesimally rare element astatine can feel like chasing shadows. All of its isotopes are radioactive, the most stable having a half-life of 8 hours, and the estimated stock of ...

Researchers uncover how the halogen bond can be exploited to direct sequential dynamics in the multi-functional crystals, offering crucial insights for developing ultrafast-response times for ...
