PFAS are, in many ways, remarkable molecules. Even a thin layer can repel water, oil, and dirt. They are also highly ...

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

First experimental evidence of tunnelling in fluorine pushes the boundary of our understanding of chemical bonding ...

In a letter published Tuesday in a scientific journal, a group of 20 researchers warn that 'this effort is politically and/or ...

Bulky molecules mimic some properties of PFAS without their long-lasting chemical bonds and could replace PFAS in some water-repelling applications.

For example, a doubling of the PFAS chemical perfluoroheptanesulfonic acid (PFHpS) in moms was associated with a 9% higher ...

Their unique properties come from multiple carbon-fluorine chemical bonds, a particularly strong chemical motif that also explains their resistance to degradation. This longevity has led to PFAS ...
