Researchers have detected fluorine -- an element found in our bones and teeth as fluoride -- in a galaxy so far away that its light has taken over 12 billion years to reach us, a discovery that is ...

Chemist Andrea Sella tells the story of how the feared element ended up giving us better teeth, mood and health. Many chemists have lost their lives trying to isolate the periodic table’s most ...

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 ...

Talk about tough competition. According to a document prepared by the Swedish-French Association for Research, on Sept. 21, 1906, as the Nobel committee debated whom to recommend to the Royal Swedish ...

Fluorine chemists have been on a roll lately, generating a torrent of research papers reporting new tricks for incorporating fluorine into organic molecules. The field’s abundance of riches has come ...
