The new etching model precisely explains how fluorine gas breaks certain bonds in the silicon more often than others, depending on the orientation of the bond at the surface. Black silicon is an ...

Quantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon where tiny particles manage to pass through barriers they technically don’t have ...

Instead of starting with dangerous and expensive fluorine gas, its process, invented during World War II by Professor J. H. Simons of Florida University, uses an electrolytic cell charged with ...

Hydrofluoric acid is converted into fluorine gas by electrolysis. Unfortunately, HF is a poor electrical conductor, so some potassium bifluoride is added to make the solution conductive enough for ...

Perfluorocubane has long interested chemists, “not only for its beautiful structure, but also for its electron acceptivity and intermolecular interactions,” Akiyama says in an email.

Researchers synthesize fluorine-based compound via rapid biphasic (gas and liquid) mixing. How short is one second? The duration of a second can be defined as one 86,400 th of a 24-hour day.

While these gas lasers are reliable and widely used, they’re complicated and expensive, requiring careful handling of toxic gases like fluorine. On the other hand, the new CAS laser is a fully ...

Chemicals that contain fluorine have perpetually been in the news for two primary reasons. One is the controversy surrounding the fluoridation of drinking water. The other is the latest chemical scare ...

“Fluorine gas reacts with most organic and inorganic substances; with metals, it forms fluorides and with water, it forms hydrofluoric acid.” The organization breaks down the relationship ...

To confirm that this material could work in place of dangerous hydrogen fluoride gas as a source of fluorine, they used Fluoromix to make over 50 different compounds, including some that are ...
