Internet talk-show with the protagonists of scientific research in Milan

Wednesday November 6th, from 6 to 8 pm

Urban Center, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, MilanoMI 20123, Italy

Milan is at the core of Italian scientific research. Every day its universities and research centers work with European institutes in range of international projects. Together with fashion industry and design, research is thus an excellence that connect the city to the rest of the world and may represent a relevant incentive for the relaunch of the whole Country. Meanwhile, however, some important research centers are forced to close or reshape, whilst contrasting news raise concerns about public funds for health and basic research.

The event will be the occasion to present a study from Scienceonthenet about the degree of internalization of the resarch that comes from Milan. Such an overview may allow to identify new strategies for the development and the strengthening of the scientific and technologic endowment of the city.

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

A group of researchers from Hokkaido University has provided the first experimental evidence of the existence of a new type of chemical bond: the single-electron covalent bond, theorized by Linus Pauling in 1931 but never verified until now. Using derivatives of hexaarylethane (HPE), the scientists were able to stabilize this unusual bond between two carbon atoms and study it with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction. This discovery opens new perspectives in understanding bond chemistry and could lead to the development of new materials with innovative applications.

After nearly a year of review, on September 25, a study was published in Nature that has sparked a lot of discussion, especially among chemists. A group of researchers from Hokkaido University synthesized a molecule that experimentally demonstrated the existence of a new type of chemical bond, something that does not happen very often.
