Discusses the factors influencing chemical reaction rates and equilibrium. It explains how different reactions occur at varying rates due to factors such as the nature of reactants, surface area, ...

A team of chemists at Southern University of Science and Technology, working with a colleague from Zhejiang University, both ...

Criegee intermediates (CIs)—highly reactive species formed when ozone reacts with alkenes in the atmosphere—play a crucial ...

Physicists propose that high-energy photon jets from collapsing stars may be secret factories of heavy elements like plutonium, challenging traditional theories and possibly explaining strange cosmic ...

Several decades ago, it was recognized that the kinetic behavior in some systems with reactions and random transport is strongly affected by many factors, which were not taken into account in previous ...

Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In exploring how crystals form, the researchers ...

Among these are the possibility of state-to-state reactive scattering, the insights in non-adiabatic chemistry, and, from the computational perspective, the use of explicitly correlated functions in ...
