A new computational approach reveals how subtle structural changes in polyheptazine imides can dramatically influence their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Photocatalysis offers a ...

Advancements in quantum computing enable accurate modeling of chemical interactions, benefiting pharmaceuticals, clean energy, and manufacturing sectors.

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

Quantum theory in chemistry explains the behavior of atoms and molecules at the smallest scales, which is essential for understanding chemical reactions and properties. It provides the framework for ...

For more than two centuries, fossil fuels have dominated global energy and chemical production, accounting for over 80% of consumption and driving a steep rise in CO₂ emissions. This reliance has ...

Sustainability is increasingly shaping how chemists design, synthesize, analyze, and manufacture molecules and complex mixtures that underpin ...

Chemistry today is virtually inseparable from computers and the digital landscape they create. The smartphones that scientists carry in their pockets have more computing power than engineers could ...
