Fluorine can be highly advantageous in pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds. One or just a few atoms in an organic molecule can dramatically alter its chemical and biological nature, including ...

There’s a shake-up taking place in fluorine chemistry. Synthetic organic chemists who don’t normally mess with fluorine are stepping in with their toolbox of synthetic methods to broaden the range of ...

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission ...

Fluorine is a widespread element in the crust of the earth produced in rocks and minerals as fluorides. The prevalence of fluorine in the crust has an average of approximately 650 ppm (parts per ...

Two new strategies have been developed to incorporate fluorine atoms into potential drugs ...

Back in 2004, the physics community was just beginning to recognize the existence of truly two-dimensional (2D) material, graphene. Fast forward to 2019, scientists explore a breadth of different 2D ...

Researchers have discovered a new organic reaction that selectively converts only a specific carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond in perfluorinated compounds to other functional groups. This is expected to lead ...

Fluorine has a dangerous reputation. It’s been nicknamed “the tiger of chemistry” because it has killed so many chemists. We’re going to show you one of its most volatile explosions, and explain how ...

NALGONDA: The Nalgonda district administration has launched a comprehensive survey to evaluate fluorine levels in Marriguda mandal, an area historically associated with high fluorine content in ...

Last year, while traveling in Arizona, I visited an old copper mining town called Jerome, a small flowerbed of a community clinging to the edge of a red-burnished hillside. While there I drifted ...
