UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

Controlling the products and byproducts of a chemical reaction is called selectivity. Scientists are trying to find better ways to control selectivity in industrial chemical reactions to improve the ...

When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction's transition state—the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows ...

To support chemical reaction discovery, a research team from WPI-ICReDD, led by Professor Masaharu Yoshioka and Assistant Professor Pinku Nath, have developed ChemOntology—a new artificial ...

Controlling chemical reactions to generate new products is one of the biggest challenges in chemistry. Developments in this area impact industry, for example, by reducing the waste generated in the ...

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 ...
