Pubblicato il 31/07/2013Read time: 1 min

Within the framework of the European SME Week 2013, APRE on behalf of Ministry for Education, University and Research (MIUR), in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and with the support of COSMOS+, the SPACE National Contact Points network and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), is organizing the “Countdown on Horizon 2020 Space International Information and brokerage event”, which will take place in Rome on the 27th of November 2013.

The international event will provide anticipations on the first calls for proposals under the Space theme and the SME programme in Horizon 2020 as well as brokerage sessions and a Canadian SMEs delegation to Italy, thanks to the collaboration with the Canadian Embassy in Rome and co-organized by the EEN Canadian node. The event will be addressed to universities, research centres, industry, SMEs and SMEs associations, local administrations, providing new opportunities and competitive advantages for the participants offering strategic networking opportunities.

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

di Chiara D'Errico
Pubblicato il 16/10/2024

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.

Chemistry

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.
