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 ...

The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Florida State University researchers have discovered a pathway within a certain type of molecule that limits chemical ...

Traditionally, chemical reactions have been described as one-line “equations” in which substrates, say A and B, convert purposefully but rigidly into a desired product, say C. Naturally, it has been ...

All organisms rely on chemical reactions in order to make various natural products. Chemical reactions can be caused by a number of catalysts, such as enzymatic or chemical catalysts. Researchers have ...
