Manufactured chemicals and materials are necessary for practically every aspect of daily life, from life-saving pharmaceuticals to plastics, fuels and fertilizers. Yet manufacturing these important ...

Tell students that when the temperature of a chemical reaction decreases, the reaction is called an endothermic reaction. The first part of the word, endo, means in or into and thermic has to do with ...

T u, thermal-energy uptake; T r, thermal-energy release; ‘Endo up’ denotes that the upwards peak indicates an endothermic reaction. Energy changes are measured in milliwatts.

Vibrational weak and strong coupling modify a chemical reaction via cavity-mediated radiative energy transfer. Nature Chemistry , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41557-024-01723-6 Cite This Page : ...

A research team from Colorado State University has developed a groundbreaking method to transform fossil fuels into useful ...

Testing them in these bigger reactions will ensure that they’re reliable and cost-effective enough for real-world chemical manufacturing. Advertisement Article continues below this ad ...

An approach that uses light instead of heat could lower energy demands and allow reactions to be run under gentler conditions — like at room temperature instead of extreme heat.
