Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science built a machine learning framework mapping nearly 10,000 reactions in CO2 ...

Life is remarkably selective. Life relies on many molecules with what is termed “handedness”—they’re chemically identical but are mirror images of each other. Most chemical reactions will make a 50/50 ...

Oscillatory chemical reactions are systems in which concentrations of reactants or products undergo sustained, periodic changes over time. These phenomena arise from the interplay of autocatalytic ...

A many-body Green's function framework extends topological band theory to orbital-symmetry-controlled chemical reactions, ...

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

Scientists are increasingly exploring carbon dioxide (CO₂) hydrogenation—where CO₂ reacts with hydrogen over a catalyst to ...

With a calculated blending of photography, science, and practical effects, photographer Scott Portingale captures and presents dynamic images of macro worlds and chemical reactions all within a square ...

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 ...

Using an advanced technique, scientists have demonstrated that a chemical reaction powered by light takes place ten thousand times faster at the air-water interface -- what we usually call the water ...

I love to bake and eat depression cake. It was invented during the Great Depression in the 1930s, when some cake ingredients – like eggs, milk and butter – were hard to get. The recipe makes fluffy ...

Albert Einstein once said, "I see my life in terms of music." Perhaps inspired by his words, scientists at the Center for Self-assembly and Complexity (CSC), within the Institute for Basic Science ...
