Note that the duet rule elucidated here is akin to the textbook octet rule, a well-known and the first chemical rule of thumb in general chemistry. The octet rule is a valence-electron counting rule ...

Materials scientists are increasingly adopting the use of machine learning tools to discover hidden trends in data and make predictions. Applying concepts from data science without foreknowledge of ...

Early in 1916, two scientists were independently converging on an important puzzle. Gilbert Lewis was a US chemist with wide-ranging interests who was something of a maverick. Walther Kossel was a ...
