In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

chemical reactions can also occur over very long time frames, such as when iron rusts. Understanding the range of factors that influence rates of reactions allows chemists to design chemical processes ...

There are five main factors that influence the rate of chemical reactions. These are temperature, surface area, concentration, pressure and the use of a catalyst. These are explored in more detail ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill. (left) Example of a ...

A change is called irreversible if it cannot be changed back again. Many chemical reactions are irreversible. In a chemical reaction, new materials are always formed. Sometimes these new materials ...

Scientists have made an advancement in the field of electrocatalysis. Their latest research sheds light on how catalysts can stay in unanticipated forms during the process of nitrate reduction.

I was fascinated by the idea of jet packs when I was a kid. They were sci-fi magic, and the idea that you could strap into an ...

This video is about what exothermic and endothermic reactions are and how temperature changes can be used to identify which reaction is which. Exothermic reactions, in solution, give out energy ...

which can undermine the use of bioorthogonal reactions for biomolecule tagging. The chemical labeling step involves a bimolecular reaction with a second-order rate constant that is typically far ...

Researchers have integrated perovskite solar cells with copper nano-flowers that utilize sunlight to convert CO2 into complex ...

Unraveling the chemical processes in soot particle filters reveals new ways to produce synthetic fuels.
