A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a cerium-based compound actively participate in bond formation, triggering a unique chemical reaction. The researchers observed that a cerium ...

Theoretical calculations suggest that the cerium’s 4f orbital has just the right energy and spatial position to stabilize an intermediate in this reaction, which features a cerium-carbon double ...

A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a cerium-based compound actively ... Imagine if Earth's history had a mystery novel, and one of its biggest unsolved puzzles was: Where did all ...
