As any viewer of NOVA’s "Beyond the Elements" series can tell, host David Pogue had a blast exploring the wonderful world of chemistry and bringing it to millions of PBS viewers. But why should David ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. In Chapter 5, students learned how the process of dissolving ...

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

Researchers demonstrate a chemical reaction produced through an intermediary created by a separate chemical reaction, findings that could impact environmental remediation and fuel production. A ...

Everything around us is made of molecules. Molecules are in constant motion, and when they collide just right, chemical reactions can occur! Chemical reactions can happen fast or slow, and the ...

Mark Blaskovich is a member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and the American Chemical Society. Frances Separovic receives funding from Australian Research Council (ARC) and National ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

Discover the fascinating chemistry that makes our world and everything in it—including us. Just about every solid, liquid, or gas in the world as we know it begins with reactions between individual ...
