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

A hot gas dissociates very quickly, on the order of microseconds. One might think we could neglect the speed of dissociation, then, and model the gas in an equilibrium state. However, many things ...

Interpretation of chemical rate selectivity data in homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction systems. Development and application of the theory of chemical kinetics, including collision, transition ...

Reaction kinetics and dynamics refers to the study of why, how and how fast chemical processes take place. Chemists seek to understand the details of change at the molecular and quantum level and how ...

Chemical kinetics examines the rates at which reactions proceed and the factors that influence these rates, including concentration, temperature, catalysts and reaction pathways. Redox reaction ...

In this course, principles and skills of physical sciences are developed and used to investigate questions inspired by four crafts: Blacksmithing, Ceramics, Brewing, and Glassblowing. 111 General ...

Up to 30% of life, by weight, is underground. Seismic activity may renew the energy supply for subterranean ecosystems. Published in PNAS Nexus, Eric Boyd and colleagues chronicled the ecological ...
