The recipe makes fluffy cake because of a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. I asked my friend Mary Fennimore about chemical reactions. She teaches chemistry at Washington State ...

Odd quantum phenomena can survive the havoc of a chemical reaction, researchers have found. This could eventually prove useful for emerging quantum technologies or reveal surprising quantumness in ...

Chemical gardens represent a fascinating class of self-organised structures that emerge when metal salts interact with anions in solution, most commonly silicates, leading to the formation of ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a familiar household chemical: acetic acid, the main ingredient in vinegar.

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

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 ...
