Oscillatory chemical reactions are systems in which concentrations of reactants or products undergo sustained, periodic changes over time. These phenomena arise from the interplay of autocatalytic ...

The video shows the surface of a material that was originally graphite, and how its appearance changes in waves. Above the footage, changes in voltage are displayed. When the voltage is high, many ...

In classical computer science information is stored in bits, in quantum computer science -- in quantum bits, i.e. qubits. Experiments now show that not only physics, but also chemistry is suitable for ...

A fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

On basis of these results, scientists can better explain chemical reactions which are out of thermodynamic balance, as well as biological pattern formation in nature. Furthermore, these results could ...

The Fischer Tropsch process was found to oscillate between high and low activity states, a behavior that could enhance the reaction rate and yield of desired products. Traditionally misunderstood, ...

Henry F. Fischbach Professor of Chemistry Irv Epstein, who has been at Brandeis since 1971, has been selected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Epstein was ...

Molecular chirality is a fundamental feature of living systems and asymmetric chemistry, yet its origin remains unresolved ...
