The electron is an efficient catalyst for conducting various types of radical cascade reaction that proceed by way of radical and radical ion intermediates. But because electrons are omnipresent, ...

This is possible with high-tech analytics. And quantum chemistry is also increasingly in demand, as it can reveal critical moments in the catalytic process solely through calculation, e.g., of the ...

Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson were awarded the 2017 Nobel prize in chemistry Wednesday for developing cryo-electron microscopy. The technique allows researchers to see the ...

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Jacques Dubochet of the University of Lausanne, Joachim Frank of Columbia University, and Richard Henderson of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular ...

Synthetic diamond research examines organic molecular interactions under the microscope. Scientists have long developed different techniques to produce artificial diamonds, but a new method from ...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2017 goes to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson "for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultrafast X-ray flashes to take a direct image of a single electron as it moved during a chemical reaction. In the new study, published Aug. 20 in the journal ...
