Did you know that a really fast chemical reaction makes riding in a car safer? Most cars have airbags built into the dashboard and steering wheel that can blow up like super-fast balloons during a ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered that gold, copper and iron nanocrystals form pentagonal snowflake-like patterns during rapid 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 ...

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 ...

A fast new light-activated reaction enables a way to visualize rapidly unfolding molecular events and interactions in live cells in real time (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c10390). The ...

Immobilizing small synthetic molecules inside protein crystals proves to be a promising avenue for studying intermediate compounds formed during chemical reactions, scientists report. By integrating ...
