A method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates has been demonstrated by scientists for the first time. It’s an important breakthrough in combustion and atmospheric ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

Researchers believe that hydroperoxyalkyl radical (QOOH) compounds play a key role in chain reactions that generate highly oxygenated molecules, such as those that condense into aerosols in the ...

Hydrogen fuel cells hold a lot of promise as sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources to power transportation by land, air and sea. But traditional catalysts used to drive chemical reactions in ...

Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process ...

Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) differ from wildland fires. Combustible materials in the WUI have different chemical compositions and densities, and are present in different quantities, ...

Some insects sting, some bite, and some spray acid bombs out of their nether regions. It’s a perfectly tactical defense, and ...
