Quantum tunnelling, a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon, allows particles to penetrate energy barriers that they classically should not overcome. In chemical reactions, this effect is ...

Scientists at Harvard have slowed a chemical reaction to a million times longer than usual using near-absolute-zero temperatures. Researchers continue to develop new and novel ways to manipulate ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Scientists have long suspected that a quantum phenomenon might play a role in photosynthesis and other chemical reactions of nature, but don’t know for sure because such a ...

The periodic table just got four new elements, but this isn't as groundbreaking as recent headlines would have you believe. Join Speaking of Chemistry's resident killjoy to find out why. Seriously, ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...
