Chemical reaction mechanisms and dynamics encompass the study of molecular transformations at the atomic and electronic levels. This field investigates the stepwise processes involved in bond ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

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 ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Machine learning has been used widely in the chemical sciences for drug design and other processes. The models that are prospectively tested for new reaction outcomes and used ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...
