Chemistry truly can be beautiful. The meeting of two or more chemical compounds can result in explosions that look like magic tricks, dancing liquids, and swirls of brilliant colors. Look at some of ...

The film explains the concept of chemical changes, where two or more materials combine to form entirely different substances. It highlights everyday examples of chemical changes, such as burning wood ...

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

A new study has identified the significance of a new class of chemical reactions -- previously ignored -- involving three molecules that each participate in the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Just like an astronomer investigates outer space, a chemist explores chemical space—a theoretical territory with all possible known (and unknown) chemical compounds. Researchers estimate chemical ...

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 ...
