During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Physicists have discovered a unique new molecule that could lead to many useful applications, and show how chemical reactions can be studied on a microscopic scale using tools of physics. UCLA ...

Machine learning software can now accurately track atoms from reactants to products without human help. On Thursday at ACS Spring 2021, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, Philippe Schwaller ...
