If molecules hit with too little energy, they can just bounce off without reacting. If they collide with enough energy, bonds can break and new bonds can form in a chemical reaction. The reactants ...

When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state—the ...

A Northwestern University-led international team of scientists has, for the first time, directly observed catalysis in-action ...

“At low temperatures, models of reactivity must include the effects of the permanent electric dipoles and quadrupole moments of the molecules, the effect of their vibrational and rotational motion,” ...

When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state - the ...

Researchers led by Keigo Morita and Shinya Kuroda of the University of Tokyo have revealed a temporal disruption in the ...
