A research team led by Professor Hyung-Joon Shin from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has succeeded in elucidating the quantum phenomenon occurring within a triangular ...

The terms reaction rate, chemical kinetics, and effective collisions are defined. Reaction Rates: The terms reaction rate, chemical kinetics, and effective collisions are defined. Students learn the ...

At the air-water interface, a negatively charged amino acid carries out a nucleophile attack on a gas molecule to convert it into a product. The reaction rate is enhanced due to significant reduction ...

Physicists in Canada are the first to use laser light as a catalyst to control chemical reactions. The technique could prove to be an important tool for manipulating the properties of matter at the ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

The importance of reactions between uncharged species (‘neutral–neutral reactions’) has been highlighted in low-temperature environments such as the interstellar medium (ISM) and in the dense ...

Electrospray ionization (ESI) is best known as a way to introduce chemical compounds and mixtures into mass spectrometers. The machines apply a voltage to a stream of liquid containing a sample, ...

Ultracold reactions: shadows of atoms trapped in layers of an optical lattice, before they are paired into ultracold potassium-rubidium molecules. (Courtesy: Ye Group/JILA) A new technique to cool ...

A hot gas dissociates very quickly, on the order of microseconds. One might think we could neglect the speed of dissociation, then, and model the gas in an equilibrium state. However, many things ...

Canadian researchers have for the first time exploited laser light as a catalyst to control chemical reactions. Although chemists routinely use lasers to control reactions, some of the light is always ...
