During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Nonadiabatic electron wavepacket dynamics is an emerging field that transcends the traditional Born–Oppenheimer approximation by explicitly considering the coupled evolution of electronic and nuclear ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction ...

Researchers at Temple University have observed and documented electron transfer reactions on an electrode surface at the single molecule level for the first time, a discovery which could have future ...

Scientists are one step closer to building a carbon-recycling system that can harvest solar energy to efficiently convert CO2 and water into liquid fuels. By optimizing many parts of the system, the ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

Schematic of the set-up of the transmission electron microscope. A picosecond pump laser initiates the eutectic reaction in the sample. After a certain time delay, a nanosecond ultraviolet laser pulse ...
