Scientists have uncovered direct evidence that Einstein’s theory of relativity changes how atoms form triple chemical bonds in heavy elements. A fundamental rule of chemical bonding begins to break down when atoms become sufficiently heavy. Chemists at Brown University have found direct experimental evidence that Einstein’s theory of relativity changes the structure of triple bonds, [...]
