Many valued reagents and catalysts used in the preparation of organic compounds are highly reactive and are therefore incompatible with exposure to the open atmosphere — in some cases, dangerously so.

Most people think that quantum theory, which describes the motion of molecules and atomic and subatomic particles, is counterintuitive, since quantum mechanics describes behavior at odds with ...

For the first time, scientists have watched a chemical reaction key to air pollution as it unfolds. Researchers used a new technique to study a reaction that makes carbon dioxide and other pollutants ...

If you follow the directions in a cake recipe, you expect to end up with a nice fluffy cake. In Idaho Falls, though, the elevation can affect these results. When baked goods don’t turn out as expected ...

THE MUCH-SOUGHT-AFTER ability to pick and choose the bonds broken in a chemical reaction in the gas phase has been getting closer to becoming part of the chemists' repertoire over the past 20 years.
