Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In ...

A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

The content details various categories of AOPs—including ozone-based, radiation-driven, catalytic, and physical methods—highlighting their mechanisms, chemicals involved, ...

Chemical reactivity lies at the heart of understanding molecular transformations, and Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) provides a robust framework for quantifying and predicting such ...

Researchers in Belgium have unveiled a striking chemical reaction in which ripples along a frozen reaction front resemble the rays of a shining star. Publishing their results in Physical Review ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in Earth's crust. A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

What: SETI Institute Artists-in-Residence present Exoplanetary Poetry, an art-science collaboration that trains artificial intelligence on exoplanet atmospheric chemi ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...
