Clusters Of Aluminum Atoms Found To Have Properties Of Other Elements
A research team has discovered clusters of aluminum atoms that have chemical properties similar to single atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements when they react with iodine. The discovery opens the door to using 'superatom chemistry' based on a new periodic table of cluster elements to create unique compounds with distinctive properties never seen before. U.S. adult obesity still high, but recent data suggest rates may have
