"Being able to generate magnetism in materials that are not naturally magnetic opens new paths to devices that use abundant and hazardless elements, such as carbon and copper," says postgraduate ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

Non-metal chemistry encompasses the study of elements and compounds that, by virtue of their electronic configurations and bonding characteristics, do not exhibit metallic properties. This field spans ...

"For electric conductivity, you need electrons to move through a material," says Wally Cordes, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Arkansas. Cordes and his colleagues are ...
