Hike from one valley to another via a mountain pass, and eventually you'll come to the highest point of your journey, where you'll probably stop briefly to take in the view before descending. That ...

Researchers developed a way to quickly calculate the transition state structure of a chemical reaction, using machine-learning models. During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they ...

THE thirty-sixth Bedson Lecture was delivered by Prof. M. Polanyi, of the University of Manchester, on February 1, in Armstrong College, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Prof. Polanyi took as his subject, “The ...

Chemists have devised a technique that allows them to determine the structure of the transition state of a reaction by observing the products that result from the reaction. During a chemical reaction, ...

(Nanowerk News) During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach what’s known as the transition state — a point of no return from which the reaction must proceed. This state is so ...
