Researchers synthesize fluorine-based compound via rapid biphasic (gas and liquid) mixing. How short is one second? The duration of a second can be defined as one 86,400 th of a 24-hour day. A bullet ...

Researchers have discovered a new organic reaction that selectively converts only a specific carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond in perfluorinated compounds to other functional groups. This is expected to lead ...

Fluorine is critical for biomedicine. This element can help drug compounds be more potent and last longer in the body, and its radioactive isotope, fluorine-18, powers medical imaging techniques such ...

Fluorine chemists are fond of pointing out that even though "their" element has one of the smallest atomic radii on the periodic table, it still has the greatest ability to attract electrons. These ...

The College of Engineering Thiruvananthapuram (CET) has bagged a patent for inventing a pharmaceutical agent that is expected to have immense potential in cancer treatment. The newly synthesised ...
