After years of research, international experts have confirmed the discovery of a new chemical reaction, launching new ...

Just as people who have the enthusiasm and energy to make things happen are called catalysts, their namesakes — chemical catalysts — also are facilitators, jump-starting chemical reactions that would ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Quantum tunnelling, a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon, allows particles to penetrate energy barriers that they classically should not overcome. In chemical reactions, this effect is ...

Chemical gardens represent a fascinating class of self-organised structures that emerge when metal salts interact with anions in solution, most commonly silicates, leading to the formation of ...
