A study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) provides new information about the rates at which three of the most powerful greenhouse gases are ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Infrared (IR) excitation of vibrations that participate in the reaction coordinate of an otherwise thermally driven chemical reaction are believed to lead to its acceleration. Attempts at the ...

Researchers have discovered a new chemical reaction that spontaneously makes and breaks a sulphur-sulphur bond at room ...

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 ...
