To access this phosphorus, plants rely on their own secreted enzymes or enzymes secreted by microbes to break bonds in ...

Using first-principles calculations, a research group led by Prof. Wang Xianlong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical ...

showing that it represents a new type of carbon-centered diradical with a single dative bond between the phosphorus and the terminal carbon. This is the first known compound where a carbon center ...

A new study overturns assumptions about how phosphorus becomes available in soils and sediments for plant growth.

Using first-principles calculations, a research group led by Prof. WANG Xianlong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy ...

N-type silicon is silicon that has been chemically combined (doped) with phosphorus gas to make it conductive. A silicon atom has four electrons in its outer shell and bonds tightly with four ...

but now sulfur and phosphorus are showing their mettle. The growing concern for energy production with a small carbon footprint has greatly raised the profile of C–H bond activation. A core ...
