Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Videos about the chemistry of color typically only scratch the surface of how electromagnetic radiation creates the beautiful rainbows of the world around us. But this Reactions video by the American ...

Photodissociation dynamics and roaming mechanisms represent a rapidly evolving frontier in chemical reaction dynamics. These processes involve the absorption of photons to cleave chemical bonds and ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Students explore the concept that chemical reactions involve the breaking of bonds between atoms in the reactants, and the rearrangement and rebonding of these atoms to make the products. Students ...

Chemical kinetics and reaction dynamics form the cornerstone of our understanding of how reactions proceed, detailing the temporal evolution of chemical processes from the microscopic to the ...
