New calculations reveal hidden pathways that let chemical reactions produce different products
المصدر: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · نُشر
Chemical reactions are often understood as molecules crossing a high-energy saddle point, known as a transition state, before following a downhill pathway toward a product. Conventional quantum chemical calculations typically trace this single pathway to determine how a reaction

Measuring multiple reactions on a single electrode with extraordinary sensitivity
A reaction on a single electrode can tell scientists a remarkable amount about the chemical nature and number of analytes involved. The challenge comes when they want to distinguish many reactions on the same electrode. After more than a decade of trying to overcome that limitati
