Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

The process is known as proton-coupled electron transfer, or PCET. It involves the coordinated movement of positively charged ...

Understanding Enzymes in Detail— "Catalysts that drive biochemical reactions at the necessary location, speed, and conditions ...

Do Hyun Ryu's research team in the Department of Chemistry at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed two new asymmetric catalytic methods for the precise synthesis of complex molecules using ...

Starting materials go in, and a product comes out. In reality, the same substrates can follow many different pathways ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

Radicals, atoms or molecules that readily react with other substances to form new bonds, are useful tools for building complex substances such as pharmaceuticals. But even when a radical is generated ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the air-water interface -- what we usually call the water ...

Chemical reactions are responsible for life as well as all the products that we use during our lives. But there are some common misconceptions about reactions, especially that the product of a ...

The race for chemical engineering is quite literally on. Every year, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE) brings together hundreds of university students to face-off to design the ...

Scientists at Harvard have slowed a chemical reaction to a million times longer than usual using near-absolute-zero temperatures. Researchers continue to develop new and novel ways to manipulate ...
